NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. -- Eugene Griffith was a police officer with the New Smyrna Beach Police Department for 25 years.
He worked there from 1990 to 2015, his highest ranking as a master sergeant. He also served as the longtime PIO.
Among Griffith's, specialties were drug cases. His biggest case was the Medicine Shoppe robbery that led to the shooting death of a man who came in with a gun and demanded pain pills. A private security guard standing outside of the counter in plain clothes opened fire on him and shot him to death.
Griffith, now, 50, said he has no regrets about his 25 years in law enforcement, all with the NSBPD.
"I'm thankful to have fulfilled my dream job! I had blast working for my community and hopefully, I had a positive impact on the people I came in contact with," Griffith told Headline Surfer. "I'm enjoying the second half of my life working inside the NASCAR community."
