The Brevard County Sheriff s Office had a duty not to retain deputies like Santiago-Miranda, who has repeatedly shown that they were unfit for service, and expose citizens like Crooms and Pierce to such unfitness, the lawsuit alleges. The Brevard County Sheriff s Office breached that duty when it retained and placed Santiago-Miranda armed on the street of Brevard County, despite his criminal history and demonstrated violent tendencies over the course of more than a decade. and as recently as a few months before killing A.J. Crooms and Sincere Pierce.
The lawsuit alleges that Santiago-Miranda had an alarming and disqualifying criminal history of such a level that he should not have been a deputy.
