Another Career Interruption

THIS TIME IN FLORIDA WHERE A JACKSONVILLE FIRE CAPTAIN was arrested in Nassau County, after police say he attacked a 65-year-old man in a case of road rage.

Capt. Michael Braddock, who has been on the JFRD for 11 years, was driving on a highway Friday night when the geezer tried to pass him in a no-passing zone.  Farther down the road where a legal passing zone was located, Braddock pulled alongside the other car driven by Ralph Stangle, blew his horn and made several gestures at the man.

Stangle noticed a fire department sticker on Braddock’s car and pulled into a fire station with intent on reporting the incident.  It was there that Braddock is accused of getting out of his vehicle, punching Stangle in the face, pulling him out of his truck, and cursing him out.

Braddock told police he was defending himself.  He’s bonded out of jail, and is charged with battery.  The JFRD has removed him from street duty and temporarily placed him on administrative duty.

WOKV radio has the STORY.

    First of all the man that he beat up is 75 years old and is certainly no threat to him. You need to get an updated photo of him this one makes him look like a boy scout! This article also fails to mention that he likes to beat up on people….prior arrests for battering his former wives! There is more to this story……Braddock isn’t as innocent as the article portrays him. He must feel SO PROUD that he can beat up on the elderly! How would he feel it this happened to his parents. I HOPE HE GOES TO JAIL!
