05:10 AM EST Share Director of Investigations and Homeland Security Mike Bruno says convicted police officer’s conduct was “so out of bounds, it’s indefensible.”
Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office Director Mike Bruno agrees with the jury’s verdict of guilty rendered in police officer Derek Chauvin’s trial on multiple counts of murder and manslaughter last week in Minneapolis.
Speaking April 26 to the Meninak Club of Jacksonville, Bruno said he found it difficult to watch the nearly 10-minute video of Chauvin pressing his knee onto George Floyd’s neck while Floyd was lying face down and handcuffed in the street.
In what Sheriff s Office Director Mike Bruno called one of the most bizarre cases he s seen, police put an end to a man s Botox and Bubbles parties where injections to erase facial wrinkles were provided illegally.
Nelson Amilcar Turin Jr., 47, of Orlando has been charged with practicing medicine without a valid medical license, three counts of possession of legend drugs without a prescription and one more of calling himself a doctor without a license. Arrested on March 12, he bailed out two days later and faces arraignment Monday, court records show. He was doing it without appropriate insurance to protect his clients and without the appropriate certifications, Bruno said. He was willing to let his clients take a risk so that he could get paid in cash.
It started with a Feb. 5 fight among about 20 people in Five Points.
It ended with the arrests of two men on weapons charges after the discovery of two loaded rifles in the bushes nearby, the Jacksonville Sheriff s Office said. Witnesses said they were brazenly walking down the street with rifles in plain sight.
The two men were arrested early Feb. 6, before they could return to the scene of the fight in the 1000 block of Park Street with the weapons and before it could have been national news, Sheriff s Office Director Mike Bruno said. They didn t like the way the fight turned out, Bruno said. . They were not forthcoming with us in our first interaction with them lying about it. We don t have any guns. We don t know what you are talking about. .You cannot carry firearms like that. You cannot carry them in public like that.
Three men the Sheriff s Office identified as gang members are awaiting trial after a short chase ended with four weapons confiscated by officers, the Sheriff s Office said.
The Sheriff s Office s gang unit spotted them in a Cleveland Road apartment complex and knew they didn t belong there, Sheriff s Office Director Mike Bruno said, calling it an example of community engagement stopping a possible threat. Officer J. Garriga is keenly aware of these individuals coming into a neighborhood to prey on the citizens there, Bruno said. He recognizes something is wrong with this picture. It s gang members who are really outside of their territory. I am not really sure what they intended to do. They are not forthcoming.
