Overview
- Frederick Alfred Jr.’s 4-year-old daughter was pulled unconscious from a Key West hotel pool Monday after a 911 call, and a bystander performed CPR while he was away.
- Police say Alfred returned minutes later holding a drink, smelled of alcohol, and a bar receipt showed he bought a Bourbon and Bubbles and a Levitate cocktail.
- First responders urged hospital evaluation and, after he first refused, both children were taken for treatment and Florida’s Department of Children and Families was notified.
- Alfred was arrested and booked in Monroe County on two felony child neglect counts without great harm, an offense that can carry up to five years in prison, with arraignment set for May 5.
- The Commerce City Republican is the lone GOP contender for Colorado’s District 21, and the nonpartisan Chainsaw Caucus dropped him as his campaign offered no public response.
