A day after a city of Miami code inspector accused Commissioner Alex Díaz de la Portilla of pushing her at an illegal late-night party, the city released two videos from police body cameras that the commissioner said disprove the allegations.

Two roughly 25-minute videos from body cameras worn by two Miami police officers capture the shutdown of an unlicensed nightclub in Allapattah on Feb. 21, where Díaz de la Portilla was present in what appeared to be a VIP area. The commissioner and dozens of patrons were present at the venue past the countywide midnight curfew put into place during the COVID-19 pandemic.

One of the videos released Friday shows several interactions between Díaz de la Portilla and code inspector Suzann Nicholson, who accused the commissioner of poking her in comments to Miami New Times. They exchanged words for several minutes but no pushing is visible in the footage.

An attorney representing Nicholson told the Miami Herald on Thursday that Díaz de la Portilla had poked and pushed Nicholson in a way that caused her to step backward awkwardly, injuring her hip. Nicholson referenced an incident with the commissioner in a March 8 email to supervisors where she said she thought she was okay right after the “poking and pushing,” but has since been having issues with her left hip. The Herald obtained the email in a public records request.

The commissioner strongly denied the allegations and accused Nicholson of fabricating the incident to fraudulently claim workers compensation. A police incident report on the shutdown made no mention of any altercation. On Friday, Díaz de la Portilla said the footage debunks Nicholson’s claims.
