The former deputy city manager of Daytona Beach entered a plea of no contest Friday to charges of an offer to commit prostitution.
- Gary Shimun was Daytona Beach's deputy city manager
- He pleaded no contest to charges of offering to commit prostitution
- Sheriff's Office says he met up with undercover deputy
The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said it has video that shows Gary Paul Shimun going to a Daytona Beach hotel in December to meet up with an undercover deputy posing as a prostitute.
According to deputies, the video shows the 51-year-old entering the hotel room, and when the undercover deputy asks Shimun to lay out the money on the bed, Shimun walks out.
He was not arrested the same day. However, the State Attorney’s Office later filed charges.
Shimun resigned from his post as Daytona Beach deputy city manager.
On Friday, a judge sentenced Shimun to three months' supervised probation with 25 hours of community service, along with proof of an STD testing.
Shimun and his attorney had no comment.
