Overview

  • Angela Suggs was arrested June 9 in Tallahassee and booked at the Leon County Jail on two felonies—grand theft and scheme to defraud—and four misdemeanors for false travel voucher claims.
  • The Florida Department of Law Enforcement opened its probe in November 2024 after the Florida Department of Commerce’s Inspector General flagged irregularities in her FSF-issued credit card purchases.
  • Investigators contend Suggs wired funds, withdrew cash and made personal casino charges during business trips while categorizing unauthorized expenses as meals.
  • Suggs turned herself in, posted a $13,500 bond for release and has no attorney listed in jail records.
  • Interim President Timothy Beard said Florida A&M is monitoring the legal proceedings and will determine any employment actions as the case develops.
