The bratty teenager hoping to use his Israeli father’s diplomatic status to get out of two felony charges after he allegedly intentionally ran over a Florida police officer won’t be getting his way.
Avraham Gil, 19, the son of Israeli Consulate Consul for Administration Eli Gil in Miami, was deemed ineligible to receive the immunities that foreign diplomats in the US are granted.
“The Department is aware of this incident. We can confirm that, as the dependent of an Israeli consular officer, the concerned individual is not entitled to civil or criminal immunity,” the US State Department said in a statement obtained by NBC Miami.
Gil was arrested on Jan. 27, when he was weaving in and out of cars aboard his motorcycle in Sunny Isles Beach, when a police lieutenant, performing a traffic stop, saw the teen and ordered him to stop.
The traffic-hating motorcyclist, not listening to the commands, allegedly continued to ride toward the officer and “intentionally ran him over” just after 3:30 p.m. on Collins Avenue.
