FLORIDA -- Palm Beach County Fire Rescue Capt. Andrew Giamberini will not be prosecuted for stabbing a raccoon that wandered on the grounds of the agency’s training facility earlier this year.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office detectives asked the office of State Attorney Dave Aronberg to file animal cruelty charges against Giamberini, who at the time was teaching recruits, but prosecutor Judith Arco declined. She explained in a memo that PBSO’s work on the case was insufficent to prosecute the case.
According to the PBSO report we obtained exclusively, Giamberini was having lunch at a table outdoors with other instructors when he spotted a raccoon in the bushes.
Giamberini, 54, then produced a knife that he threw at the raccoon.
“After seeing that the racoon was injured and suffering, Giamberini killed it to prevent it from suffering further,” the PBSO report reads.
Oh yes, what a compassionate person. He didn't want the raccoon to suffer so what did he do? Stab it to death? This guy is a psycho and I guarantee he has probably abused women/children/animals in the past. No sane person does something disgusting and creepy like this.
Several of the witnesses at Giamberini’s table claimed that they didn’t see the incident. One reported seeing “a raccoon with a knife in it” but didn’t make anything of it.
PBCFR Spokesman Capt. Albert Borroto said at the time that Giamberini was fired from teaching at the academy, a contracted job, but retained his job as firefighter.
It wasn’t Giamberini’s first brush with the law.
According to state records, Giamberini was turned down for a state certification as fire safety inspector in April because, in 1993, he pleaded no contest to a criminal charge of aggravated assault with a firearm. He was sentenced to probation.
While his plea didn’t disqualify Giamberini from becoming a firefighter in 1996, it did disqualify him from investigating fires.
