Florida Cop lets girlfriend drive his cop car to Hooters, gets 10 day suspension



There's something in the water down here, folks.



A Jacksonville police officer who let an unauthorized woman drive his police car was suspended 10 days and received a written reprimand as discipline, according to Sheriff’s Office records released Monday.

Officer Irving Diaz, hired by the Sheriff’s Office in December 2004, also inappropriately searched her name in a police database because she often was around his children, according to an internal affairs report. The woman was seen at least twice driving his patrol car while dressed scantily.

Diaz was suspended for 10 days or 80 hours Feb. 27, according to Sheriff’s Office records.

A June photo of Diaz in uniform leaning against his patrol car embracing a woman dressed similarly also resulted in an internal affairs report and admonishment for unbecoming conduct.

Diaz’s personnel file also includes three vehicle accidents from 2012 to 2013
