Angela Suggs Probe Got Underway Two Months After FAMU Appointment
An investigation into Angela Suggs began in November 2024, two months after she was hired as the FAMU AD, with the aforementioned department receiving a criminal referral from the Inspector General of the Florida Department of Commerce.
The probe stemmed from an audit into Suggs’ business credit card transactions and travel reimbursements. The audit revealed that she doctored travel vouchers by mislabeling personal expenses as business meals.
“While the matter is unrelated to her duties as an employee at FAMU, we are monitoring the situation and will respond in the future as appropriate,” Timothy Bears, the Florida A&M interim president, told The Associated Press.
Suggs is facing felony charges of grand theft and scheme to defraud, as well as four misdemeanor counts of submitting false claims on travel vouchers.
