FORT LAUDERDALE – A former official with one of South Florida's most powerful labor unions remains in federal custody after being arrested during a court hearing on Friday.
Torrence Little, immediate-past recording secretary of local 1526 of the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) in Fort Lauderdale, is accused of failing to comply with a subpoena to turn over documents to a grand jury probing a range of allegations against the union.
The subpoena is related to an ongoing federal investigation into the union's financial dealings dating back to 2007. According to sources, the U.S. Attorney's Office, the FBI and the U.S. Department of Labor's Racketeering and Fraud Division are conducting the investigation.
The union's top official expressed surprise at the arrest.
"I just got back in town and I'm trying to gather all the facts and information, so I really can't comment," said Gus Wilkerson III, president of local 1526. "I got a call when I was out of town that Torrence had been arrested, so I'm just shocked and surprised."
The U.S. Department of Labor referred questions to the Miami headquarters of the U.S. Attorney's Office, which declined to comment.
