Altamonte officer cleared after Winter Park police chief files complaint about wifeโs crash
ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. โ An Altamonte Springs officer was cleared of wrongdoing after the Winter Park police chief filed a complaint about how he handled a crash involving his wife, records show. Video shows Summer Deal didnโt tell the officer that her husband is Michael Deal, the Winter Park Police chief. Toward the end of the video, while still on the phone with Chief Michael Deal, the officer attempts to calm down Summer Deal. Chief Michael Deal has since been cleared of any wrongdoing. Although I am pleased that Chief Deal has been cleared of the allegations, I regret the series of events surrounding this incident.
