Florida Highway trooper found guilty, sentenced for falsifying dates on traffic reports
A Miami Florida Highway Patrol trooper is facing a year of probation after being found guilty for falsifying traffic reports, covering up his tracks after waiting weeks to turn them in. On Friday, Manny Lazaro Melendez, 26, was found guilty of two felony counts of official misconduct in a Miami-Dade case. The judge withheld adjudication, which means Melendez is not a convicted felon.
