A high-ranking Broward sheriff's deputy has been reassigned after the Sheriff's Office says he showed preferential treatment to a domestic violence suspect who is vying for a starting position with the Miami Dolphins.

Phillip Merling was arrested last week on one count of battery after deputies said he struck his pregnant fiancee. The defensive back posted $15,000 bail and, according to the Sheriff's Office, was escorted out a side entrance of the jail building to avoid television cameras.

That move, Broward Sheriff Al Lamberti said, was not authorized. The deputy who led Merling out of the jail, Cmdr. Alvin Pollock, oversees the deputies at the courthouse and works security for the Dolphins on game days. Without referring to Pollock by name, Lamberti said at a news conference Friday that the deputy drove Merling home to Weston in an unmarked Sheriff's Office vehicle.

Pollock was on duty at the time, Lamberti said.

Sheriff's spokesman Jim Leljedal confirmed that an internal affairs investigation had been opened and that reassignment in such cases is routine.

He did not discuss any details of the investigation.

Some times a new sheriff must look at the character of a person he may want to hire! Col alvin has left us a blue print of his character by the crimes of his past! A pregnant woman of color is kicked and beaten by a celebrity! Alvin did not care about the pregnant wife of a violent football player and with his brother in law help, got him out of jail!!!? Col Alvin also covered up crimes committed by juveniles who were kids of wealthy people at the courthouse! The story is being released soon!

I won’t believe this unless you post the outcome of the allegations. Proof, that’s what you need to sink his battleship. I know most of you operate in the spin zone but for the future of a Broward County you need to show the outcome. She said he kicked her, prove that. Being charged isn’t a conviction. Hell people lie to me everyday on the street and I still have to arrest the accused because of it. In the end most of the time proof emerges that the accuser lied because they were mad at the accused for a whole host of reasons.

Show me the conviction of the player. Where is that public record? Show me the news article that says the accused player was convicted or pled to the charges.

If you can’t stop wasting our time. We get enough of that crap on the street.

"Crimes committed by juveniles, covered up' is of much interest." For ANY candidate, from any party, please disclose this information if you have it. Of all issues, this is the number one. We will move heaven and earth to rid this county of lenient juvenile policy, for victims and also for perps who need ADULTS, not shameless politicians to show them the way.

NO candidate who has, or plans to support PROMISE or lax juvenile policy will do so without full public exposure.

You’re right they are liars.

--2010, Miami Dolphins defensive end Phillip Merling: Charged with felony battery on his girlfriend, who was two months pregnant. A complaint affidavit said the woman had a cut on her lip, along with swelling and redness on her face. After the incident in May 2010, prosecutors dropped the charge against him because the woman didn't cooperate with them. He continued to play that season after healing from an Achilles' tendon injury.
