Suspended Osceola County Sheriff Marcos Lopez faces felony charges including racketeering tied to an illegal gambling operation in Kissimmee after his most recent financial disclosure showed only his sheriff and pension incomes while previous filings detailed over $1 million in assets—prosecutors now require him to prove that his bond money is not linked to the operation, with three co-defendants having posted bond and a fourth suspect remaining at large.

The state asked a judge to revoke bond for co-defendant Sharon Fedrick in connection with an alleged illegal gambling operation tied to a Kissimmee nightclub+ suspended Sheriff Marcos Lopez spent a full week in Lake County Jail and remains the only one of five defendants still in custody.
