Panama City commission files ethics complaints after mayor accused of power misuse, sexual harassment

PANAMA CITY, Fla. – The Panama City Commission voted unanimously for the city to file two complaints in order to have the state’s ethics commission investigate concerns related to Mayor Michael Rohan.

The two motions that passed were related to Rohan’s reportedly unlawful use of his position of power, as well as a sexual harassment allegation against him.

The commission came to the decision after seeking legal advice from Michael Mattimore, a Tallahassee lawyer, who reviewed the situation after being requested by the Panama City Attorney Nevin Zimmerman.

Rohan’s potential violation of his authority and powers were related to a previous issue regarding the re-appropriation of state funds.
