FRUITLAND PARK, Fla. -- A Fruitland Park police officer resigned after an investigation revealed that he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Eyewitness News discovered that officer James Elkins quit his job when the Fruitland Park Police Department opened an investigation.
Someone sent photographs of Elkins dressed as a KKK member and KKK certificates to the Lake County Sheriff's Office (see the photos). The agency decided to let the police chief of Fruitland Park handle the situation, but by that time Elkins had already quit.
James Elkins was off and on with the police department for nearly five years. In the pictures, Elkins was dressed in green and white with an old KKK uniform and a hand on his gun.
UPDATE: In doing a free search for James Elkins on the public court website for Lake County Florida, it appears that a James W(arner) Elkins has two closed cases on this site. One is for a traffic violation and one is for a divorce. One must wonder if this is the same James Elkins listed in the stories of this miscreant cop?

WOW. KKK, eh?
Lake County is full of them. I was recently sent an email from a protective mother who while driving to vote in her old hometown located in Lake County, Floirda noticed a disturbing vehicle behind her. Sadly this vehicle and its windshield message was seen by this mother's child as well. What message did they see you might ask?
DRIVIN' TO A HANGIN'.......
Racism and the KKK are alive and well - at least in Lake County, Florida......
