An off-duty firefighter with the FDNY found himself on the wrong side of the law early Saturday morning in the Bronx. Jonathan Muniz, 30, was arrested at around 2:40 a.m., after apparently failing to navigate the thin line that separates the revelries of the night from the responsibilities of the day. According to PIX11, Muniz is now facing charges related to driving while intoxicated (DWI), including operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and driving while ability impaired.
The location of Muniz's arrest fell within the confines of the 50th Precinct, as noted by the Shore News Network. However, the precise details that led up to the scene where a public servant found himself entangled with the law have not been made publicly available. The NYPD has kept specifics close to their chest, pending an investigation that could have implications for Muniz's future with the fire department.
The FDNY has not commented on Muniz's arrest, nor have they indicated what potential disciplinary actions may be considered. Officials are currently reviewing Muniz's status with the department amidst the unfolding situation.
