Former PCB SERGEANT

A Sweetwater police detective on the wrong side of the law facing serious misconduct charges.

Detective Octavio Oliu surrendering today after police say they found him with several unauthorized license plates in his unmarked cruiser...and that he racked up more than 500 Sunpass violations.

He's being held on a 20-thousand dollar bond.

If convicted on all his charges he faces up to 20 years in prison.

If memory serves me correctly we have a NW sergeant that was doing this exact thing that was previously assigned to our elite Public Corruption Bureau.

Why the Sweetwater detective gets charged and our corrupt sergeant gets transferred and ultimately gets another great gig. Seems to me calls need to be made to the two state attorneys that placed this corrupt sergeant on the Brady list.

Unlike our Northwest sergeant, Detective Oliu never dropped his gym shorts in front of a male subordinate. Maybe if he would have, he would still be working, promoted and stealing more LETF funds today.

Sweetwater cop charged for using stolen plates to avoid tolls

MIAMI-DADE CORRECTIONS

A Sweetwater police detective used a stolen license plate to shirk hundreds of highway tolls for months until he was pulled over for speeding on Florida’s Turnpike, authorities said.

Sweetwater Detective Octavio Oliu surrendered Thursday to face felony charges — more than one year after he was suspended from the scandal-plagued department.

Oliu, 42, is facing charges of official misconduct and organized scheme to defraud. His lawyer, C. Michael Cornerly, said the officer will fight the allegations.

“License plates and toll violations?” Cornely said. “The facts don’t live up to the enormity and seriousness of the charges.”

Sweetwater’s mayor, Jose Diaz, said in a statement that Oliu had been on unpaid leave. “I will not tolerate officers who betray the badge or the citizens of the city of Sweetwater,” he said.

The arrest is another black eye for the small West Miami-Dade city beset by the recent arrests of public officials.

Former Mayor Manuel “Manny” Maroño is serving federal prison time for corruption, while former detective William Garcia is doing nine years behind bars for identity theft and credit card fraud.

Federal and state authorities have been investigating widespread allegations into corruption within the ranks of public officials. Another sergeant, Remy Garcia, was also suspended pending a criminal probe.

The investigation into Oliu began in August 2013 when a Florida Highway Patrol trooper pulled over his black Chevrolet SUV, which had been seen “weaving between vehicles at a high rate of speed,” according to an arrest warrant released by the Office of the Statewide Prosecutor.

The trooper ran a computer check of the SUV’s Michigan license plate and found that it had been reported stolen.

Oliu “acted surprised.” He flashed his Sweetwater police badge and said “he had obtained the tag from the tow yard that morning and had run it with negative results.”

An FHP dashboard video camera showed Oliu getting out of his car and rummaging through a stack of license plates in his SUV’s trunk. Florida Department of Law Enforcement and Miami-Dade public corruption investigators soon launched an investigation.

They discovered that the tag had belonged to a man named Oscar Marquez, who was arrested in August 2012 at a Best Buy parking lot on suspicion of possessing stolen credit cards. Within weeks, prosecutors dropped the case.

That day, Sweetwater police towed the truck. Marquez’s aunt got the truck back from the yard — but it was missing the license plate.

She repeatedly called Sweetwater police and was told “the tag would not be returned,” FDLE agent Octavio Agüero wrote in his warrant.

Stymied, the woman called police in Michigan to report the tag stolen. Meanwhile, agents believe, Oliu was racking up over 500 SunPass toll violations and even red-light camera citations.

“The use of impounded-confiscated tags is not condoned or authorized by the city of Sweetwater Police Department,” according to the warrant.

Sweetwater hired Oliu in 2010. Three years earlier, he had been forced to resign from his previous job as a Miami-Dade County cop.

Federal authorities are still investigating Garcia, Oliu and civilian red-light camera monitor Richard Brenner. According to sources, Brenner was suspended from Sweetwater because he was working as a police officer, including making arrests, without being a sworn member of the department.

In their warrant, FDLE agents noted that Brenner is pals with Oliu. “Brenner has refused to cooperate with the investigation,” according to the warrant.

Oliu and Brenner were named in a 2013 federal lawsuit filed by a special-needs teacher who they arrested after making a critical remark about Sweetwater police on Facebook. Prosecutors later dropped the case against the teacher; the lawsuit was recently settled.

Sounds familiar Kelly?

Ms. Abella, please know you and your family are not alone in this fight. The honest and proud servants of Mdpd are fully aware of your situation and we agree with your assertion wholeheartedly. Are you aware that your current tormentor Sgt. Kelly Sullivan was suspended about 18 months ago from his old unit of assignment for utilizing stolen vehicle tags to avoid paying tolls on his way back and forth from home? Are you aware he was transferred to Northwest district while under investigation, that his police vehicle was impounded and that he caused a severe embarrassment to our department?

Here is something you may not know, said sergeant was hidden away here in Northwest district and several months after his arrival he was given a clean bill of health by our major and promoted to a position of trust as head of the Crime Suppression Team. The promotion of this common overtime thief occurred even though three other qualified sergeants had applied for the same position but were not selected because unlike this criminal of a sergeant they are politically corrected.

Below, I have attached a newspaper article of yesterday's arrest of Sweetwater PD Detective Oliu. Oliu was arrested for the same crime Sgt. Sullivan committed, that is for using stolen vehicle plates, yet he goes to jail and Sullivan lives on for another day. What is even more dumbfounding is the fact that the FDLE agent Octavio Aguero who arrested Det. Oliu, is the same FDLE agent who along with Sgt. Sullivan participated in the unlawful arrests of several Golden Beach police officers who later had all criminal charges dropped by the State Attorney's Office. This is all also the same FDLE agent who is fully aware that his cohort Sullivan had committed the same crime as Det. Oliu but yet winks and nods at Sullivan and brings all the weight of the justice system against Det. Oliu.

My suggestion to you is to contact David Ovalle of the Miami Herald and bring these facts up to him so that he can conduct a public records request at PCB to find out why Sullivan was left off the hook so easily while Det. Oliu is going to prison. You may also want to contact the attorneys C. Michael Cornerly who is representing Det. Oliu. I'm sure he would love to hear this story. You may also wish to contact the attorneys for the Golden Beach police officers since they are currently involved in a civil case against Sullivan and may be able to provide you with legal assistance and guidance. Best of luck to you and we wish the best to you and your family.

Here is a previous post that details the case involving the deviant Northwest sergeant. The information revealed here will help David Ovalle track the complaint at PCB. I sincerely doubt PCB will deny David Ovalle access to the records. Also listed in the following information are the criminal charges and the names of the assistant state attorney's who have so far mishandled the Sullivan complaint:

"This brings us to another case where lack of sound judgment brought us another black eye but the department so far has failed to issue any disciplinary action. In the case of Sgt. Kelly Sullivan, accused of misusing LETF funds on multiple cases, conducting the false arrest of three Golden Beach police officers and a mysterious case where he is the subject of a criminal case. As reported in last month's Brady report, Kelly M. Sullivan, court ID 030-01693, is currently under investigation by the SAO for the charges: Custody death, Theft and Tag not Assigned. This case is associated to a deceased victim named Michael Roque and the case is assigned to ASAs Chet Zerlin and Susan Dechovitz at the State Attorney's Office. The supervisor at that unit is ASA Johnette Hardiman, telephone # 305-547-0664. How is it possible that an officer who is currently being investigated by the SAO remains active on duty and not suspended with or without pay? How is it possible that this same officer was rewarded with the assignment of CST supervisor, free to access LETF funds once again? This disparity in the issuance of discipline by our department's administration creates a sense of apathy where officers mistrust management since only those who are not connected are punished with disciplinary action. For our department to move forward we must use common sense each and every day on every call and disciplinary action should be uniform not just intended for patrolmen and PSAs."

Well your pOst gives the full explanation oF why this Sgt ends up in Northwest District. Look who bus running it and who ran it before, this Sgt holds many trump cards and as he and his old squad memeber put it "they are touchable". These officers are the ones that all the cases and arrest they have ever been involved in, handled, or simply near too should be investigated. The Department's current Admin's are trying to avoid embarrassment, indictments, and incarcerations buy hiding everything they can in these clowns and others. Just the biggest example of what bad hiring practices can end up to become. The Lids can't be kept in much longer and soon the worms will be out for the public to see, it won't be a pretty day in History for Miami-Dade. Yes this Sweetwater detective may be currently used as an example but things at MDPD go deeper, see why he was let resign years past. That's what's wrong with MDPD to many towels thrown at criminals, thiefs, and liers. A great department has no room for such behavior and years of it has been going on under the publics nose and good cops as well. Just look and see how many other overtime thiefs and crooked cops are simple shifted here and there. Given a pass when subjects of crimes, join a clique and get a free pass, lie for others get promoted or special gigs, make false arrest for stats and get weekends off and commendations. No secret who's taking care of this Sgt and many others, if it weren't for things they did in the past those supervisors and administrators would not be there. Look deep see how far up this ladder goes, promenant residents, PO's, council memebers, commissioners, mayors, legislators, Gov's, senators, and more. No big secret just a lot of people that can cuase damage and hurt to those who come forward!

Maybe he is "untouchable" with our corrupt administration and our corrupt State Attorneys Office. However he is not untouchable in f
Federal court. In front of a Federal judge that has no loyalty to this corrupt county.
Lets see how untouchable he is there.

There are many in this agency willing to stand for what is right even if it means testifying against this small criminal group.

[doc justice]

You mentioned the SAO.

Check this pacer number out 15-CV-20038. It shows how far they will go to help cover for a criminal Police Chief

They must get away with this kind of foolishness in state court, but as said above not in Federal Court.

The video that started this is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czMpouApGuI

Somehow exposing criminal actions by publishing the evidence is cyberstalking, or at least that's what the Chief tried at first.

You really got to read the order from the judge dismissing their motion to dismiss. They actually cited Roe v. Wade for the proposition that Chief Rolle was protected from my actions. What did they think I was going to abort him? LOL

Don't get too carried away it was the Attorney Generals Office defending the SA, that came up with this baloney. Thank God for the Federal Courts.

Stay safe everyone and God bless.
