Hired in 2024, Brevard County named Fultz its Deputy of the Year in 2025. The day of the ceremony Fultz’s ex-girlfriend sent a letter of complaint to the sheriff’s office with a long list of complaints about his behavior. The letter was enough to prompt the sheriffs to investigate Fultz which is when they discovered he’d used Flock to stalk her.

The 43-page investigation found Fultz had posed for pictures as Adolf Hitler, freely used racial slurs in texts, masturbated on camera in his police vehicle, took pictures of his ex-girlfriend with his service weapon in her mouth during sex, repeatedly broke the law to generate clout online for his motorcycle themed Instagram and TikTok accounts, and used Flock to stalk his ex-girlfriend.

One of the sheriff’s office’s key findings was that Fultz used Flock to spy on his ex and bragged about it to her. When questioned about using Flock, Fultz told investigators that he remembered the conversation with his ex but “denied checking her vehicle registration to spy on her or out of revenge.” The investigators audited the Flock logs and found that Fultz had, indeed, tracked her movements.

When someone runs a search using Flock, the system requires users to enter a reason. Fultz flagged his search for his ex as a general investigation, and simply entered “investigation” as the reason.

Investigators also found that Fultz accessed Flock while he was off-duty. “Deputy Fultz agreed that he would have entered the registration number prior to leaving for work based on the time, and denied using his agency laptop. Deputy Fultz explained all his flock inquiries were made from his agency-issued cellular telephone,” the investigation said.

Fultz denied he was using Flock to stalk his ex. He claimed to investigators that he may have been showing her how it works, and denied spying on her. The report also states that he said “he had her location on Snapchat, so it wouldn’t have benefitted him to track her on Flock.”

Fultz’s abuse of Flock is just one piece of a much larger investigation into his behavior. In an image provided by his ex, he “had shaved your mustache to resemble Adolf Hitler and [was] demonstrating a Nazi salute,” the investigation said. She also “provided photographic evidence of you holding a firearm to her head and also inserting it into her mouth while having sex.” She said it was consensual, according to the investigation, but “she realized it was a poor idea and inappropriate for a deputy sheriff. The firearm in the images appears to be an agency-issued Walther.”
