Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, August 11, 2026 —
Lamar Roman, a former deputy with the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, has reached an agreement that will allow him to avoid jail time in a case where he was accused of misusing official databases.
The accusations stem from Roman’s alleged use of law enforcement databases to track a woman he met while working on the set of the TV show ‘Bad Monkey’ in the Florida Keys. As part of a pre-trial intervention program, Roman will serve two years of probation.
His probation terms include a strict no-contact order with the woman in question. Additionally, Roman will be required to pay associated costs, complete a specified amount of community service, and undergo psychotherapy.
The details of the specific databases accessed and the full extent of the alleged tracking were not immediately available. The timeframe of the alleged misuse also has not been specified. The resolution of the case through pre-trial intervention means Roman will not face a trial on the charges.
Pre-trial intervention programs are typically offered to individuals accused of certain crimes as an alternative to a traditional court process. Successful completion of such programs often leads to the dismissal of charges.
The investigation into Roman’s actions was conducted by the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office. The outcome of this case highlights the consequences of misusing official law enforcement resources.
