Audio Reveals Hollywood Police Discussing Cover Up

Shocking audio can be heard recorded by a dashboard camera in one of the patrol cars in a February drunk driving incident.

Alexandra Gabriela Torrensvilas, 23, was cited with four counts of drunken driving after a Hollywood police officer rear-ended her car.

The audio on the tape clearly plays officers discussing how they would cover up the situation to protect a fellow officer.

Officer Dewey Pressley, 42, Officer Joel Francisco, 36, Sgt. Andrew Diaz, 39; and civilian Community Service Officer Karim Thomas, age unavailable, were placed on administrative duty pending an internal affairs investigation and a review by the Broward State Attorney's Office, said spokesman Lt. Scott Pardon.

UPDATE: The charges against Torrensvilas have been dropped. Source
