According to WFLA News Channel 8 Michael Szeliga packed a bottle of Jameson Irish whiskey, as part of his luggage, in his sheriff’s patrol car before driving to the Hyatt Regency Pier 66 Hotel in Fort Lauderdale with two other deputies. They were there for two days of DUI law enforcement training. But it appears that the boozy deputy was already quite trained. MADD was quite mad.


Szeliga was also supposed to receive a MADD award for making more than 100 DUI arrests. But alcohol got in the way.

Szeliga now works as a detective in the sheriff’s crimes against children unit - considering the above stupidity is this really a smart reassignment?
