News4JAX told you last year when Daniels said he was going to try and get his job back.

A jury found Daniels not guilty on charges of tampering with evidence, attempted destruction of evidence and five counts of lying to law enforcement.

The charges stemmed from his long-term affair with a former corrections officer.

In 2020, Michelle Cook won the race against Daniels 37% to 29%.
