Ron DeSantis issued an executive order on Friday suspending a mayor who reportedly opened fire on deputies serving a warrant, calling him “unfit” to serve. DeSantis formally suspended Port Richey Mayor Dale Glen Massad “effective immediately." According to reports, Massad fired shots at officers who were attempting to serve a search warrant over the alleged operation of an illegal medical practice at his home. “Dale Glen Massad is clearly unfit to continue serving as mayor for the city of Port Richey,” DeSantis said in a statement. State officials say Massad was treating patients at his home even though he had long since lost his physician's license.
