 ORLANDO, Fla., Dec 7 -- An Orange
County sheriff's deputy was fired after surveillance video showed him
urinating in a public elevator, according to Local 6 News.
Recent complaints of a foul odor inside the R & R Limited public
parking garage in Orange County prompted the building's manager to set
up a video camera inside an elevator.
When the manager and police checked the videotapes, Orange County
Sheriff's Deputy Carl Brown was shown urinating in the corner of the
elevator, Local 6 News reported.
"It's certainly nothing you would expect from anybody,
much less a deputy sheriff," Orange County Sheriff's Office
spokesman Jim Solomons said.
The manager said Brown, who works at the nearby county
courthouse, was constantly relieving himself inside the
elevator, Local 6 News reported.
Since the videotape was given to authorities, Brown has
reportedly admitted to urinating in the elevator and in
some nearby bushes.
 "It smelled bad," resident John Minka said. "To
urinate in a public elevator, that's just wrong."
The urine caused about $200 worth of damage to the
elevator, according to Local 6 News.
A sheriff's office investigation determined that Brown
violated two agency standards. He was given a 40-hour
suspension for one offense and fired for the other,
according to the report.
Although Brown was fired, he is still being paid while
he continues to appeal his termination.
