Orlando Commissioner Regina Hill Arrested for Elderly Exploitation and Fraud

Orlando Commissioner Regina Hill has been arrested on charges including exploitation of the elderly, impersonation, scheme to defraud, and mortgage fraud, accused of taking over $100,000 from a 96-year-old woman. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating whether Hill established power of attorney over the woman and secured a mortgage for a home without her knowledge. If Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis were to suspend Hill, the city would work with the Supervisor of Elections to hold a special election to temporarily fill the District 5 city commission seat.
