JUST IN: A Clay County Sheriff’s Office lieutenant who was arrested by the Florida Highway Patrol on suspicion of driving under the influence Friday night has been fired.
Coldiron was also arrested in December 2021 by FHP and accused of the same crime, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
In that incident, FHP said Coldiron was driving a pickup truck on CR-233 in Bradford County when he went through a stop sign and collided with another pickup truck. A passenger riding with Coldiron suffered minor injuries. Coldiron wasn’t hurt, but he was arrested for DUI and booked into the Bradford County jail.
Coldiron, who served as a director of corrections, was demoted to lieutenant after his first DUI. The demotion resulted in a 24% pay cut. According to documents obtained by News4JAX, Coldiron was involved in a confrontation in Bradford County with family members of his girlfriend over child custody in which law enforcement was called.
