DETAILS: Embattled Walton Leader Arrested for Domestic Violence

Scott Brannon, the Walton County Director of Governmental Coordination, was booked into the Walton County Jail and charged with misdemeanor battery on May 14. The Walton County Clerk’s Office shows a case filed against Brannon for Battery/Domestic Violence. 

Critics of Brannon, including former Deputy County Administrator Joseph Turner, accuse Brannon of working a no-show job he was given as patronage. Turner claims on social media that Brannon is a “no show” at his job, citing badge-access reporters. Mid Bay News has not been able to independently verify that Brannon has missed work. 

Brannon is also a former Walton County Commissioner. In 2012, he was cleared of violating ethics rules by Florida’s Ethics Board by voting on the Driftwood Estates Subdivision. 

Walton Clerk of Courts Documents show that Brannon is ordered to appear at the County Courthouse on June 1 in front of Judge Kelvin Wells. 

We have reached out to the Walton County Commission for comment and the Walton Sheriff’s Office for the arrest affidavit and will update this story as we obtain more information.
