Records: UCF officer resigns amid investigation into 'possible misconduct'

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — A University of Central Florida police officer who was involved in a controversial traffic stop in 2013 has resigned amid an investigation into his “possible misconduct,” according to university records.

Channel 9 obtained Officer Timothy Isaacs’ resignation letter, which was submitted June 14.

In the letter, Isaacs blasted the agency, accusing his fellow officers of “alienating” him for months. He called the alleged treatment “disheartening” and “nothing short of an atrocity."

Three days later, UCF police Chief Richard Beary fired back, saying that Isaacs was under investigation for “possible misconduct.”

Beary offered no details about the investigation, only saying that it was being led by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

In September 2013, a traffic stop landed Isaacs at the center of an excessive force investigation. A body camera showed him smashing the window of a vehicle driven by a student whom he had pulled over due to a broken taillight.

Isaacs was later cleared of any wrongdoing, and the student was convicted of resisting arrest and sentenced to probation, records showed.

The current investigation into Isaacs is unrelated to the 2013 incident, officials said.

The university declined to comment, citing that the investigation is ongoing.

FDLE didn’t respond to Channel 9’s request for comment.
