Timeline
Charles Quackenbush (born April 20, 1954) is an American former politician and Florida law enforcement officer.
Quackenbush was born on April 20, 1954, in Tacoma, Washington.
As a child, he grew up in a military family and after graduating University of Notre Dame on a full ROTC scholarship, he joined the United States Army and rose to the rank of Captain as a helicopter pilot.
In 1982, he left the military to join the family business in Silicon Valley.
He was elected as a Republican to the California Assembly in 1986.
In 1994 he was elected insurance commissioner, effectively applying considerable campaign contributions from various insurance companies.
After the 1994 Northridge earthquake, it was alleged that Quackenbush allowed insurance companies to compensate their clients much less than the actual damages.
In exchange, the insurance companies set up special "educational funds".
Those funds were used to create television commercials in which Quackenbush appeared as a basketball referee with Shaquille O'Neal in a Los Angeles Lakers uniform.
While couched as public service announcements, suspicions rose that main idea behind the commercials was to increase Quackenbush's name identification, which is critical for electoral success in California statewide races.
A Republican, he served as Insurance Commissioner of California from 1995 to 2000 and as a California State Assemblyman representing the 22nd District, from 1986 to 1994.
He won re-election in 1998.
In addition to the educational funds, those same insurance companies contributed to his wife's unsuccessful 1998 assembly campaign, as well as his children's football camps.
Initially, Ossias blew the whistle as an anonymous source.
When her identity was revealed, Quackenbush put her on an administrative leave for violation of attorney client privilege.
In early 2000, Cindy Ossias, then a senior lawyer for the California Department of Insurance
(CDI), charged the Department with corruption.
According to testimony by CDI employees, including Ossias and staff attorney Robert Hagedorn, Commissioner Quackenbush and his top aides abused their positions for personal gain and acted against consumers' interests for many years.
On June 28, 2000, he announced his resignation (to become effective on July 10).
In February 2002, an 18-month investigation conducted by federal, state and Sacramento County prosecutors ended with prosecutors declining to press charges against Quackenbush, as they felt the evidence was not strong enough.
After resigning as California's insurance commissioner, Quackenbush moved to Hawaii, where he was "doing political and military intelligence consulting".
Quackenbush then moved to Florida and in 2005 became a sheriff's deputy in Lee County, Florida.
In 2007 he was suspended for accepting free food.
While working as a sheriff's deputy in February 2008, Quackenbush shot and critically wounded a suspect who was reported as resisting arrest.
He was placed on paid leave during the investigation of the shooting, a standard practice for the agency.
In September 2016, he resigned, after making several racially controversial Facebook postings.
At the time of his resignation from the Sheriff's Department, he also served as the vice-chair of the Lee County Republican Executive Committee and his wife was running for the Lee County school board.
