The Sheriff Built a $73.7 Million Spa. His Wife Allegedly Has a Key. I Filed the Paperwork to Find Out.

A source told me, “Bruh, no one’s gonna do shit, that’s how this game is played.”

Or not.


Let me tell you how this started.

A source — and I will describe this source only as uncomfortably close to the situation — told me something that stopped me mid-coffee. Sheriff Gregory Tony’s wife allegedly uses the BSO Research, Development, and Training Center gym on a regular basis. Uses one of the trainers. Receives services from taxpayer-funded staff.

I want to be clear: I don’t know this for a fact. I know it from a source.

Which is exactly why I filed a public records request.

Because here’s what I do know for a fact. The BSO Training Center started as a $34 million project and ended up at $73.7 million. Somewhere in that $39.7 million gap, a $7.5 million wellness amenity package appeared — sauna, cold plunge, and what I can only describe as a recovery experience with better tile work than your bathroom. Also somewhere in that gap: $550,000 in signage, portraiture, doctoral degree designations, and motivational quotations bearing Gregory Tony’s name and face, installed throughout the facility like a man who wanted to make absolutely sure nobody forgot whose sauna it was.

And apparently, according to my source, his wife’s sauna too.

So I did what I always do.

I filed paperwork.
