The golf cart did not have a license tag, a requirement for when such vehicles are driven on public streets.
O’Connor’s husband, Keith, said they had just come from a restaurant and didn’t usually drive the cart on streets.
The internal review found O’Connor violated regulations on standards of conduct and “abuse of position or identification.” “The Tampa Police Department has a code of conduct that includes high standards for ethical and professional behavior that apply to every member of our police force,” Mayor Jane Castor — herself a former Tampa police chief — said in a statement requesting the resignation. “As the Chief of Police, you are not only to abide by and enforce those standards but to also lead by example. That clearly did not happen in this case.
Castor appointed Lee Bercaw, who was assistant chief, as acting chief while a nationwide search begins. O’Connor served in the post for nearly a year.“In hindsight, I realize how my handling of this matter could be viewed as inappropriate, but that was certainly not my intent,” she said.
