Pinellas deputy fired, found with 9 whiskey bottles in cruiser after passing out at wheel

This is one of the most corrupt departments. Pinellas cops suck ass from st Pete to Palm Harbor. There really good at taking breaks and sitting in parking lots all day. The most petty pull overs and tickets for goin 5-10 over limit lol. Then when they work, they're all drinkin on the side. But y'all know how it works here. Blue protects blue ;(

Alcoholism is a disease. The cop was clearly a full blown alcoholic. These people can't help themselves. It's pretty much a drug and they need their next hit. How he managed to get a job as a LEO is beyond me. If they want this to stop, they should let all of their officers know that you are held to a higher standard and if you are caught breaking the law, especially on duty. You are on your own. You will get fired and be charged to the fullest extent of the law. The choice is yours.

I'm surprised he didn't get a promotion

Wft alcoholic cop 🤭🤣

They covered for him. How he make it home before being tested for alcohol but whoever drove his car seen the alcoholic beverage right away and he went to the hospital before he went home. No way

Something is not right with this picture? It’s like he was trying to kill himself by over drinking. Hope he gets the help that he needs.

What can someone say about this??? Especially when if it was anyone else- we would get beaten and JAILED!!

He was wearing his civilian clothes and I’m willing to bet he wasn’t even aware……ALCOHOL IS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES AND SHOULD STILL BE HIGHLY CONTROLLED
Too late…….

I would be drinking also if De Satan was my Governor. Also

Only got caught because he wasn't in his own jurisdiction

Question in my mind is why did he have so many bottles in his car? And I wonder if he got them illegally somewhere. Nobody’s going to walk into a liquor store and order 14 bottles of something. What do you guys think?

What the hell is it with Pinellas County Sheriff's?? You look them up on YouTube and it's "deputy fired", "deputy arrested" again and again and again. There's obviously something seriously wrong with the "law enforcement" (and I use that term lightly) culture there.

LOL DAMN.

But was he arrested and charged?

Fired but no charges. I call BS, if that were you or I we would have been hauled off to jail with multiple charges.

Although alcohol is deadly for an alcoholic what was he thinking?!?!!

Where's the DUI charge Sheriff? Or are you just letting him go over to the next county and wala, back to work.

He's not being charged? That's nice. Try being passed out at a light today with alcohol bottles in your car and see if the Pinellas Police extend you the same courtesy.

TREAT HIM THE SAME WAY YOU WOULD TREAT A PERSON WHOS NOT A COP

Yall are saying prayers for this dude? If it wasn't a cop you'd be screaming for him to be put in prison

The pay is always the reason nobody cares

😳

Rutttt rohhhhhh Scooby. That ain't no good. But actually it is a good thing because we don't need cops like that working and enforcing laws for actual law abiding citizens. He should be held to an even higher standard and be charged as such.

That is fl people think everything is a party there 🤣

These are the people they are adding to the force to uphold the law. Let that sink in

Probably a product of bvsh era education mixed w the crazy qnon crap🤔🕸️🤡

The steering wheel should have a built-in breathalyzer bc u know he's not the only one.

Its OK florida is a bureaucracy they will protect him with that thin blue line

if this was NY nothing would happen

Not surprised…after all it's Fl-a-DUH LOL

On a sad note, he is hurting inside, red flag him, take his guns away, he is 1 finger away from suicide or murder suicide. All joking aside. He needs help.

GO BIG or GO HOME

It amazes me how people can throw their careers away by making stupid decisions.

Unacceptable

Glad he’s alive.

He must have been thirsty. Jokes aside, drunk driving is serious. Ten years ago I was hit by a drunk driver. He totally demolished my car, and I ended up in the hospital. The guy was so drunk he didn't know he even hit me. He kept on going down the road until his smashed up car stopped running.

Florida

And he was a SRO at Dixie Hollins High School.
