Astatula Officers Resign Amid Vehicle Policy | Orlando News
Description
Two Astatula PD officers vanished into the Lake County Sheriff’s Office—just days before their official swearing-in—leaving the tiny town with 20% fewer cops. Rodney Brown and Natalie Quandt quit voluntarily, citing better opportunities, though whispers link their exit to a new, strict take-home vehicle policy that capped fuel use and demanded receipts. Town leaders deny any direct connection, and neither officer has spoken publicly about why they left. With no backup patrol coverage and no other officers on the horizon, Astatula is quietly eyeing future partnerships with the sheriff’s office—though any big moves will need community votes.
