Live Oak PD Officer Fired
A sergeant with the Live Oak Police Department has been fired after an off-duty altercation with another LOPD employee in August, records of a city investigation show.
Sgt. Jose Alfredo Moreno and another employee had gone to dinner on Aug. 16 and returned to the employee's residence, records show. During the evening Moreno had reportedly become intoxicated.
The two then had a verbal confrontation that turned physical. The victim made several attempts to get help, but Moreno prevented her from doing so, investigative reports show. Moreno allegedly pulled the microphone cord from the police radio in his squad car when the victim tried to radio for help. At one point the victim tried to run and Moreno reportedly prevented her. Williams was later called to the residence.
LOPD launched an internal investigation on Aug. 26 into Moreno's alleged conduct. Investigators determined that Moreno had violated city policy regarding conduct and ethics and determined that there was sufficient cause for his dismissal, say reports. Moreno was terminated on Sept. 22.
The state attorney's office conducted a criminal investigation into the matter on Sept. 18.
As a result of the investigation Moreno will be charged with criminal mischief and disorderly conduct, according to records of the LOPD investigation. However, Police Chief Buddy Williams said Tuesday that the charges may change and that charges may be added.
Moreno filed an appeal of his dismissal on Sept. 26. He will appear before the city council to be heard. Mayor Sonny Nobles said the city has not yet set a date for the hearing.
In a letter to City Attorney Erny Sellers, Nobles said he had been asked by a city councilman whether the hearing involving Moreno "could be held 'behind closed doors' and out of the sunshine." Under Florida's Government in the Sunshine law, "the appeal cannot be heard behind closed doors," Sellers wrote in response.
