Officials recently reported that a Pinellas Detective Michael Szeliga was on duty when witnesses say he made respectful remarks at a Mother’s Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) conference several months ago.

A report from an internal investigation says Szeliga was on duty July 24 when he attended the MADD event and it says Szeliga made comments toward another police department Gulfport police Chief Robert Vincent that were “considered disrespectful and overtly influenced by alcohol.”
In addition, the report says other agencies considered the detective to be inebriated.
He was suspended for one day and ordered to write a letter of apology to the Gulfport police chief after making alcohol- induced comments.
The report also says Szeliga acknowledged that he should not have consumed alcohol before attending the event.
