If you’ve walked into a Dollar General, seen a shelf price, and been charged more at the register, you’re not alone. We are taking Dollar General to court for years of overcharging Florida families. We’re fighting to make sure the price you see is the price you pay.

Every predator who targets our kids will face the full weight of the law.

Today, I joined Sheriff Grady Judd to announce 281 arrests from Operation Polk Around & Find Out II, a seven-day undercover operation targeting child predators and human trafficking. Predators who come after our children will be hunted down and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Our office secured a settlement with Snap Finance delivering more than $135 million in lease forgiveness for over 62,000 Floridians. Predatory leases from 2017–22 are wiped clean, and there will be clear rules and accountability going forward. We hold companies to their word.

Today, we announced the arrest of Jerry Jesus Reyes of Kissimmee and charged him with 100 felony counts of child sexual abuse material and related offenses. We also filed a lawsuit against the A2E AI platform for enabling the generation of inhuman child sexual abuse material.   Predators who exploit children have no place in Florida. Companies that make it easier to create this material will be held accountable. myfloridalegal.com/newsrelea…

Today, we announced 10 arrests and the dismantling of a major Mexican transnational Sinaloa Cartel pipeline that flooded the Tampa Bay area with cocaine.   From the initial seizure of 60 kilograms in Tampa to the additional seizures and arrest of the organization’s boss, this network is finished. Thanks to the PCSO Narcotics Unit, FDLE, HSI, El Paso PD, and our Statewide Prosecutors, Florida will not be a market for cartel cocaine. myfloridalegal.com/newsrelea…

Great investigative work by TPD!

Our Cyber Fraud Enforcement Unit worked closely with the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office to seize a website that impersonated a Sarasota County resident and sold non-existent horses for thousands of dollars. Thanks to the investigators and our prosecutors for protecting Floridians from another scam!

We stand ready to prosecute those responsible for the murders of Carlos Costa, Armando Alejandre Jr., Mario de la Peña, and Pablo Morales.

First Street’s climate risk scores on Zillow, Redfin & Realtor.com are presented as accurate and scientific. They’re not. We are taking them to court because Florida homeowners deserve facts, not alarmist scores that hit their property values and their wallets.

Parents deserve control, and corporations must design for kids' safety—not addiction.

Today, we proposed the Safe Screens Act to require app stores to link minors to a parent’s account and get parental consent before downloading or buying an app. The proposal would also limit addictive features and programing that have hurt kids.   If you invite our children onto your platform, you have a duty to keep them safe. myfloridalegal.com/newsrelea…
