On October 1, 2026, a former division chief of the Monroe County Fire Rescue air‑ambulance unit was found guilty of misconduct and tampering in a drug‑theft investigation in Monroe County, Florida.
The jury delivered verdicts on ten counts, including two counts of official misconduct, after a six‑day trial. The charges stemmed from the probe into drug theft by a former nurse, and the case was prosecuted by the Florida Keys State Attorney’s Office.
Prosecutors for the State Attorney’s Office announced the conviction.
