An Orlando Police Department officer is facing charges after speeding, driving recklessly, and fleeing another officer that pulled him over, according to authorities.
Orlando officer Alexander Shaouni was driving 80 mph in a 45 mph zone in his police patrol car on June 6 without any emergency lights or sirens activated. A Seminole County Sheriff’s deputy spotted Shaouni speeding and attempted to pull him over, but he kept driving and didn’t stop.
Shaouni was charged with speeding, reckless driving, fleeing a law enforcement officer, and resisting arrest, according to court records, the Orlando Sentinel reports. Shaouni was also “relieved of duty, pending the Seminole County Sheriff’s criminal investigation and OPD’s Internal Affairs investigation,” CBS News reports.
That’s ok, the feds will hire him.
Entitled pig!
Gives they few good guys left a black eye.
You’ll never take me alive copper!
Git to cuffin and stuffin Enos. Amongst the cops, the Deputy will be considered the chicken shit for arresting a fellow LEO.
I wonder if that 🐷 thought he could get away with other crimes?
He’ll make a great ATF agent.
Most likely already hired by the next town over.
There are better ways to handle incidents like this that avoid public scrutiny. Cruisers trying to pull over cruisers is never a good look.
Is there an on-going problem between these agencies? Too, what would happen if the local yokel tried to stop the county mountie, all things equal? Is it a personal problem between the two individuals? So many unknowns.
Something is not right and it’s not the speed limit violation; there is more here than meets the eye.
Police agencies CAN talk to each other by other means, cities and counties coordinate with each other all the time, and nowdays every cop has at least 2 cell phones. The car and agency are easily visually identified, why not have your comm center call his BOSS to tell him to pull over?
Being in a municipal vehicle isn’t the same as being in your POV. Everyone knows where you came from and who you work for at a glance, and its not like you can blend in or never go back to base. Unless the vehicle was stolen, there’s quite a few other ways this COULD have been handled, is all I’m saying…
