Seminole County tax collector accused of stalking, impersonating political opponent on social

Seminole County is a barrel of rotten apples. So many abuse their positions.

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. — Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg was indicted Tuesday accused of stalking and using social media to impersonate a political opponent.

According to a news release by United States Attorney Maria Chapa Lopez, Greenberg, 35, of Lake Mary, is facing charges of stalking and unlawful use of a means of identification of another person. If convicted on both counts, he faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison.

The normally outspoken Republican said nothing as he walked out of the Florida Middle District federal courthouse in downtown Orlando around noon Tuesday.

Though the indictment does not name the victim, Greenberg is being challenged in the Republican primary by longtime educator Brian Beute. When reached by phone today, Beute referred Channel 9 to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
