The City of Miami Police Department’s Deputy Chief Ronald Papier and his wife, Miami Police Commander Nerly Papier, have both been relieved of duty.


According to Miami Police spokeswoman Kenia Fallat, the Deputy Chief and Commander are relieved of duty with pay effective immediately, pending the outcome of an internal investigation.

“No further comment will be made by the department related to this matter,” said Fallat in an emailed statement.

Ronald Paper has been Deputy Chief of Police for more than three and a half years. He was interim Police Chief after Jorge Colina retired and was one of the departments top candidates to replace him.

The email, sent on April 4, alleged that Nerly Papier - a 22-year veteran of the force - was driving 'under the influence of control substances' and crashed a police vehicle into a curb 'at approximately 40 miles an hour' on April 2, blowing out both tires on one side.

The paper obtained a crash report, via a Freedom of Information Request, showing that Nerly Papier was involved in a crash on the morning in question.

The report said she was only blocks away from the police headquarters, and swerved to avoid another vehicle, hitting the curb.

She then, according to the author, drove the white 2020 Ford Explorer to police headquarters before calling her husband.

'Any reasonable person would have knowledge that after striking a curb at a high speed, with two blown tires and cracked rims, the vehicle would be unsafe to drive,' the author wrote, according to the paper.

'You would definitely feel the instability in the steering wheel as well as loud sounds coming from the rims grinding against the public road as well as loud sound and vibrations from the blown out tires.'

According to the email, Ronald Papier then contacted MPD Capt. Javier Ortiz to have the vehicle towed and repaired, claiming it had been vandalized.
