Alexander Shaouni is a 35 year-old former police officer who worked for the Orlando Police Department. He joined the police force as a patrol officer until his suspension and subsequent sacking from his position in 2023.[1]

An altercation between Shaouni and Seminole County deputy sheriff was caught on a Police body camera.[1] He is facing charges as well as internal review.[1]

Criminality

[edit]

On June 6, 2023, Alexander Shaouni was caught recklessly speeding, driving 80 mph in a 45 mph zone. The Seminole County deputy sheriff drove over 90 mph just to catch up to Shaouni. The officer can be seen and heard on the viral video saying, "What? I am going to work, my man. Why are you trying to pull me over as I am going to work?"[2]

[edit]

Following his arrest on June 9th, Shaouni and his attorney admitted to a pre-trial diversion program with a $9,000 bond that led to the dismissal of multiple counts of Felony between 2023 and 2024.[2][3][4][5]

Aftermath

[edit]

On March 2024, Shaouni pleaded not guilty as charged and is back on duty working the evening shift in the North Patrol Division.[3][6]
