KEY LARGO, FLA. (WSVN) - A longtime Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputy is behind bars after being accused of driving under the influence in the Florida Keys.
According to officials, Pedro Villalonga, an 18-year veteran with the department, was driving in Key Largo on Monday night when he began taking up multiple lanes and failed to yield to a vehicle.
When stopped by the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, Villalonga’s speech was slurred, and deputies smelled alcohol in his breath.
MDSO said he has been relieved of duty as of Wednesday.
