No charges will be filed against a Flagler County Sheriff's Office sergeant who was involved in an altercation at Finn's Beachside Pub in May.

The Flagler Beach Police Department determined on July 7 after a "thorough and detailed investigation" that no criminal charges would be filed against FCSO Sgt. Michael Breckwoldt, according to a press release from the FBPD.

FBPD officers found Breckwoldt passed out on the corner of North 2nd Street and North Oceanshore Boulevard at 1:16 a.m. on May 26. 

Another patron of the pub said that Breckwoldt "chest bumped" him earlier inside the pub, the press release said.

Breckwoldt was relieved of his law enforcement duties and reassigned to administration following the incident. 

FBPD Detective Rosanna Vinci handled the investigation, the press release said.

Copies of the entire police report and surveillance footage from Finn's have been turned over to the FCSO for its internal investigation into Breckwoldt, which is active and ongoing, according to an email from FCSO Public Affairs Officer Ava Hanner.
