Boca Raton Man Arrested for Misusing 911 Over Deputy's Race
A 60-year-old Boca Raton man was arrested Oct. 27 on a misdemeanor charge of misuse of 911 services after calling 911 to request different deputies because one responding to his home was Black, according to a Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office affidavit. Deputy Jevel Leon had been dispatched at about 9:10 p.m. to the 21100 block of Juego Circle in the Boca Lago Country Club community on a domestic disturbance call involving Frederick Troy Toder and his mother. While deputies were already inside, Toder placed a second 911 call asking for another set of deputies, stating he did not want Deputy Digsby in his home because of his race; the affidavit says no new emergency was reported. Toder was booked at Palm Beach County Main Detention Center and released after posting $1,000 bond. He faces arraignment Dec. 8 before Judge Lourdes Casanova; the charge remains an allegation.
