Corrections was holding a former Broward Sheriff’s Office sergeant without bond on Tuesday afternoon at the Broward County Main Jail in Fort Lauderdale, according to inmate records.
On Monday, in Broward County bond court, Scott N. Nida, who worked for BSO for more than 21 years, stood before Broward County Circuit Judge Corey B. Friedman, wearing an anti-suicide smock.
BSO deputies had arrested Nida on Jan. 7, April 20, May 17, and on Saturday — his fourth arrest in seven months, records show.
Records show the first two arrests were after Nida was accused of battering a woman, and the last two arrests were after Nida was accused of violating a judge’s order to stay away from her.
BSO hired Nida on Jan. 18, 2005, just two days after his 34th birthday. He had been working at Port Everglades when BSO placed him on administrative leave after the first arrest. His employment with BSO ended on June 29, after his third arrest.
On Tuesday, Nida faced a charge of violation of the injunction for protection against domestic violence. His bond for the first-degree misdemeanor was $10,000.
Records showed Nida also faced five charges: Grand theft auto, battery, robbery, false imprisonment, and tampering with a witness, victim, or informant. A judge denied him bond for these.
