Officer Accused Of Parking Illegally At Disney
Police Chief Says Garvin Could Lose Vehicle Privilege, Get Ticket
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- A local police officer could be in trouble after a visit to Walt Disney World.
Daytona Beach Lt. Major Garvin is accused of taking a personal trip to Disney's Wide World of Sports in his city vehicle and parking in a handicapped spot.
His badge and ID card were spotted on the dashboard.
Garvin's chief said he could get a ticket or lose the privilege of taking his car home.
"A handicapped spot is there for handicapped individuals to use -- not for a fully functioning police officer," Daytona Beach Police Chief Mike Chitwood said.
Garvin was fired in 2008 after failing a lie detector test regarding demanding free coffee from a beachside Starbucks.
An arbitrator ordered him back to work earlier this year.
