Ruling: Cause to Discipline for Felony Convictions

The Administrative Hearing Commission (AHC) has entered a decision on a case involving the discipline of a bail bond license holder who was convicted of felony offenses. In its order, the commission said that Ozell Scott is subject to discipline for entering an alford plea to resisting arrest and pleading guilty to unlawful use a weapon in March 2006. Scott was sentenced to three years in prison, but execution of the sentence was suspended and he was placed on probation for three years. The commission noted that for the purposes of licensing, an alford plea is considered a guilty plea. Scott has until April 22nd, to appeal the AHC decision. Unless the decision is appealed, the Department of Insurance (DIFP) will convene a disciplinary hearing and determine what form of discipline to give Scott. According to DIFP licensing records, Scott works under the authority of Darrell Tullock.
