On June 1, 2017 Palm Bay City Councilman Brian Anderson agreed to wear a wire for the FBI in an upcoming meeting with former Palm Bay Mayor John Mazziotti at his residence.
Mazziotti spent more than two years in federal prison after being convicted in 1972 of selling amphetamines and importing the drugs across the U.S.-Canadian border. There’s also the matter of a 1961 conviction for illegal entry after he and a buddy stole a cash register from a store.
