Hey city what's up with this, was the Amnesia enough to avoid charges? What happen to calling the county when the Tags are county owned? So he didn't know what happen but he propbably knew who he was and who he worked for and who he knew right, how many calls where made to see what course to take on this one? Was the county or his boss called from the scene? City well knows what to do when it's a county vehicle crash so what's up with this one? What did the vehicle tow search reveal and who towed? Was it towed by county vendor? Guess Crespo's going to be busy in this one, smells like another political corruption caper, kind of like the Carrollo and Regalado favors years back. And Using medical excuse on this one just won't cut the mustard guys, look his Boss fired him so you guys better get on the ball quick before the DOJ comes back through the front door.
Here we see again it's the reason why folks get disgruntled and who can blame them. A former FHP LT who was simply allowed to walk away without charges several years ago is back in the news. It's Drugs, Rock-n-Roll, and Amnesia in this incident for this clown. Read article, enjoy. I wonder who At the OIG's office handled his FHP investigation and why was it just dropped and not prosecuted? Who protected him last time, and who's still protecting him now, that's up with the City, no DUI charge, did they forget about the Female Trooper who 39ed thier officer on I-95. Plus he was driving a County car not a city vehicle, that should of been Miami Dade Police traffic Homicide units handling the call. Plus under the circumstances as a county employee, public corruption IA should been handling the case, they now need to get a warrant for the car and for the Blood or urine drawn at the hospital.

A top staffer in the Miami-Dade Commission lost his job recently in the wake of a daytime car crash in Miami.
Alex Annunziato, legislative director to commission Chairman Esteban “Steve” Bovo, left his $88,000-a-year job for the District 13 commissioner Monday. Miami police had found him “passed out” at the wheel of a black Yukon SUV at 10:30 a.m. on Friday in a parking lot off Biscayne Boulevard, after Annunziato apparently collided with two unoccupied vehicles. He told police he didn’t remember what happened.
Faced with an unconscious Annunziato and a locked car, an officer smashed a window to get to him. A city dispatch record identified Annunziato’s SUV as a county vehicle.
On the first full workday after the incident, Bovo issued a curt directive ending Annunziato’s employment. In a memo to the personnel office, Bovo wrote that “effective immediately” Annunziato “will no longer be a part of District 13 staff.” Bovo declined to comment, beyond saying: “It’s a personal situation. And that’s it.” Annunziato did not respond to a request for comment.
The circumstances of the crash aren’t clear, and the Miami Police Department produced a redacted incident report Thursday. A police spokeswoman said the information was redacted on the grounds of medical privacy. Annunziato, 37, was cited for careless driving, according to the report, and taken to North Shore Hospital after the incident.
The news comes just weeks after Annunziato, a longtime Bovo staffer, saw his profile rise considerably with Bovo’s election as chairman of the 13-member board. Annuziato’s role was to manage legislation under Bovo, who was elected to the two-year chairmanship in late 2016.
Annunziato, a lawyer and former state trooper, helped write the Bovo-sponsored ordinance that legalized Uber last year. He also was active in the private legal discussions surrounding Mayor Carlos Gimenez’s recent change in county policy toward immigration detention requests, which will be reviewed by the commission Friday at a special meeting called by Bovo.
