Miami-Dade prosecutors formally dropped all charges against Joshua Epstein on Monday.

Local 10 News has learned that Miami-Dade prosecutors are set to drop charges against Surfside activist Joshua Epstein — and that’s not the only significant development in the small Miami-Dade island town that’s seen a significant amount of political drama and intrigue.

Newly elected Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett said he is losing his town’s attorney.

Surfside Police Chief Antonio Marciante spoke to Local 10 News on Tuesday about the arrest of Joshua Epstein, the son of former commissioner Eliana Salzhauer.

Former Surfside Commissioner Eliana Salzhauer says her son’s arrest after being accused of battering a current commissioner after a meeting Wednesday was politically motivated.

Several residents of Surfside are unhappy about the decision that a pride flag will not be flown in the town.
