Tampa, Fla. — An off-duty firefighter is accused of driving 102 miles per hour in a 50 mph zone.
The firefighter is Henry Williams, a seven-year Tampa Fire Department veteran. He had a disciplinary hearing on Friday that has not determined the punishment, so Williams says he can’t comment... but the video alone in this case speaks volumes. It was recorded by Eric Campbell, a self-proclaimed citizen watchdog who has a dash cam in his car. Late one night last month, Campbell saw a Crown Victoria with city plates driving at a high rate of speed on Bearss Ave. toward Nebraska Ave.
According to Campbell, “The vehicle was doing about 70 miles an hour in a 50. I got close enough to him to get his tag and at the light, he stopped.” Once the light changed, Campbell says the city vehicle got up to 70 miles an hour, and very quickly.
