Several years ago, before he became a state senator, he volunteered at the shelter. When Hurricane Irma was heading their way, he paid for a bus to evacuate survivors and went on the bus with them. He spoke to one of the survivors, talking about topless women, sex workers, and offering to fly her to Las Vegas. When the director heard of this, she banned him from the facility. As senator, he made several allegations against the shelter including trafficking, drug use, and a conflict of interest. These allegations proved to be false.
