Business owners, city officials 'dumbfounded' by arrest of Fort Pierce City Commissioner James Taylor

James Taylor, 38, of Fort Pierce, was arrested Thursday morning after a traffic stop.

The St. Lucie County Sheriff's office said the investigation began in August 2024 when Evanston, Illinois, police received a report from the mother of a 13-year-old girl. The mother said her daughter, who was 12 years old when the communications began, had been contacted by a man via Snapchat.

"Over time, the conversations became sexually explicit, and the suspect allegedly sent multiple nude images to the minor," according to the sheriff's office.

Fort Pierce City Commissioner Michael Broderick said he is "dumbfounded" by Taylor's arrest.
