FORT MYERS Fla. — A sixteen year veteran with the Lee County Sheriff’s Office was nominated to win a tractor. But when he and his wife first received the calls they thought it was a scam. It wasn’t until Corporal Kurt Poteet and his wife Caroline did a little online research that they discovered the prize was no scam at all. In fact, Corporal Poteet won a $15k tractor for the future farm he and his wife plan to buy.
