A Lauderhill Police officer has resigned from his position after being accused by investigators of taking possession of a dead man’s home.
Thirty-five-year-old Brian Louis Sguros resigned from the department as he faces several charges, including official misconduct and criminal use of a deceased person’s identification.
He pled not guilty on Monday after he was placed on unpaid leave from his former employment following his arrest.
Authorities said that Sguros took over a home that was owned by a man after Sguros found his body during a welfare check in 2022, and allegedly forged documents for the home since then.
