## Resource

Former Titusville Police Chief John Lau is facing a careless driving ticket after a June rollover crash involving his city vehicle — a crash that left officers finding vodka and alcohol-smelling items in his truck, plus a suspected alcohol odor on his breath. He pleaded not guilty, refused a sobriety test, and was fired the next day. Though the Florida Highway Patrol initially declined to pursue a DUI, their report remains pending — and now Lau’s legal team is preparing for a September hearing over a $169 fine.
