An officer with the FBI has been charged with DUI while driving his government vehicle. The twenty three year veteran to the FBI, 49-year old Jorge Miyar, drove into a DUI checkpoint in Oakland Park. Miyar drove between the designated cones and ran over a curb.
The Miami arresting officer reported that the defendant exhibited signs of intoxication, including smelling of alcohol. At first Miyar denied any wrong doing and explained that he ran over the curb because he was unfamiliar with his surroundings. Sometime during the investigation, the defendant allegedly confessed to leaving a party in which he consumed a hamburger and five beers. Police reports also state that Miyar discussed the trouble he was in for driving drunk in a FBI vehicle.
Miyar failed roadside sobriety testing and refused to participate in further breath testing. Officers subsequently arrested the FBI agent on charges of DUI. There is no information on what FBI disciplinary action, if any, will result from these criminal charges against Miyar.
