Dui Crash Off-Duty Florida in off-duty, Florida: Titusville police Chief John Lau was involved in an off-duty crash around 11:15 p.m. on June 23 near River Oaks Drive and Barna Avenue in Brevard County, outside Titusville city limits. Officers responding to the scene reported smelling alcohol and found a partially consumed bottle of vodka and a Yeti-style cup inside his city-owned SUV. Lau had minor injuries, including a small cut on his forehead, and was transported to Parrish Medical Center, where he refused both a blood draw and a breath test in violation of city personnel policy. The city fired Lau on Wednesday, the Florida Highway Patrol took over the investigation because the crash was outside city limits, and FHP determined no criminal charges would be filed.
