Derick Kuilan, the Miami Beach police officer involved in a bizarre ATV accident that sent three citizens to the hospital, will be fired. Rolando Gutierrez, another officer who was not directly involved in the accident, will also be fired following a swift investigation.
Kuilan was on-duty when he picked up an unauthorized female passenger, Adelee Sharie Martin, around 5 a.m. on Sunday morning and proceeded to take her on a high speed joy ride on a stretch of beach outside the Clevelander Hotel. Kuilan ended up running over a couple that was laying on the beach. The passenger and the couple all wound up in the hospital.
The department has started the process to officially terminate Kuilan for "conduct unbecoming an officer" and "dereliction of duties," according to NBCMiami.
Investigators are still looking into allegations that Kuilan was drunk at the time. City officials would also not confirm whether or not Kuilan attempted to flee the scene after the accident.
Ouch!
Showing off to impress a woman will almost always get you into trouble.
Another career shot to hell.
DUI
Hit and run.
He should be arrested now.
And no pay during the investigation.
I agree that the officer should be fired. But, what was that other couple doing on the beach at 0500? Aren’t beaches closed 2200-0600.
Just say’n
Do you really want us to tell you what they were doing?
Bump-bump!
“What did we just run over?”
“A piece of driftwood.”
“How do you know?”
“Because it had eight limbs!”
Horrible! It's "lying"
Maybe they mean ‘laying’ as a verb...
If they believed such activity was taking place, there should have been a explanation why of why they came to the conclusion.
5 am, lying on the beach...What do you think they were doing, sunbathing?
