A member of the Broward Sheriff's Office found himself on the wrong side of the law this week. Detention deputy Michael Cammallere, 28, was arrested on charges of introducing contraband into a detention facility and of obstructing justice. Local 10 News reported that Cammallere, who has been a law enforcement officer with BSO since October 2023, was no longer listed in the Broward inmate database as of yesterday morning.
The arrest was undertaken by BSO's Public Corruption Unit on Wednesday, with the sheriff's office confirming the deputy now faces one count each of introducing contraband into a county detention facility and official misconduct. Local 10 News has sought to obtain his arrest report, hoping to uncover more details about the arrest and the nature of the contraband allegedly brought into the jail. This marks a moment where those who have pledged to uphold the law can quickly find to be subject to its firm grip and accountability.
According to the information provided by the NBC Miami, the specifics of the charges, including the type of contraband involved, have not been disclosed. Meanwhile, Cammallere has been placed on administrative investigative leave without pay, as the incident continues to be investigated by the authorities.
