MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested a Miami Fire Rescue 16-year veteran on Saturday after accusing him of domestic violence, records show.

Capt. Maximo Vazquez had been arrested last year after he was accused of attacking a colleague in June and calling 911 to report his wife had vanished.

Miami-Dade corrections booked Vazquez, 43, shortly before 8:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.

“We have not been in contact with the individual. Once contact is established, the department will initiate a thorough internal investigation in accordance with our policies and procedures,” a Miami Fire Rescue Department spokesperson wrote in a statement.

Vazquez faced new charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery, strong-arm robbery, and false imprisonment.

Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Michelle Ashby Delancy was set to preside over the new case.
