The Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office declined to file any charges against David Bellini, absolving him of all charges. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement Crime Laboratory confirmed that details relating to Mr. Bellini's arrest were inaccurately reported by the arresting officer. The arrest of David Bellini for drug trafficking was wrong and damaging to his reputation and business.
Unfortunately, as a matter of public record, the information that allegedly supported Mr. Bellini's arrest was picked up by multiple news organizations and incorporated into their published articles beginning on Monday with severe and dire consequences to Mr. Bellini personally and his family. The impact of this error cannot be understated, or sadly, easily undone.
David was unjustly charged as a drug trafficker and was subject to significant public humiliation. He is a father and long standing, local area businessman, whose attempt at relief from chronic pain had turned into a dependency problem - he is among millions in the country looking to address similar issues with expert help. Now that David has been rightly cleared of any crimes, he can focus on restoring his health and family relations and work to restore his reputation, sullied by this egregious error.
We would very much like to thank the Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office for their prompt and fair attention to David's situation.
