FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT
INVESTIGATIVE REPORT
On November 2, 2015, the Miami Dade State Attorney's Office (SAO) forwarded
correspondence to Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Office of Executive Investigations
Inspector Brett Lycett regarding their final review related to a complaint made by James
McDonough against Homestead Police Chief Alexander Rolle. McDonough alleged that Chief
Rolle violated sections of F.S.S. 838.022 (Official Misconduct) when Chief Rolle failed to
provide records to McDonough related to a public records request. Specifically, records that
McDonough allegedly provided to Chief Rolle, in person, regarding an internal affairs complaint.
The SAO determined that:
Although the complainant and witness recall giving the Chief the paperwork, there is no
evidence to support an allegation that the Chief destroyed the paperwork. The evidence
received from the complainant was a recording obtained without the permission of Chief
Rolle. Thus any evidence arising from this illegally obtained evidence is inadmissable (sic).
This Office will take no further action in this preliminary inquiry.
A copy of the SAO correspondence will be maintained electronically in the Related Items
(12) section of this investigative file. Pursuant to the SAO's findings, this investigation will be
closed.
