Florida officer found dead man, impersonated him for years, renovated his home

A Lauderhill Police Department officer, Brian Louis Sguros, was arrested for taking unlawful possession of a deceased man's home after responding to his welfare check in July 2022, then spending nearly three years renovating the property while impersonating the deceased and paying utilities in his name. Sguros falsely told the medical examiner's office that he was the dead man's friend and that he had no living family, though he had no prior connection to the victim. He faces multiple felony charges including official misconduct, criminal use of a deceased person's identification, and computer fraud.
