Miramar's investigation into its former fire chief leads to questions

A former South Florida fire chief was accused of using taxpayer money for personal purchases while he was on the job. How the city of Miramar handled an investigation into the activity has raised new questions. The purchases in question included $900 fishing reels, slide rentals, a drone, and pricey amplifiers. Investigators said then Miramar Fire Chief Robert Palmer bought the items using his city-issued purchase card, or P-card, over a period of five years, from 2017 until just before he retired in 2022.
