Judge agrees to drop charges against Israeli diplomat's teen son who ran over Florida cop

The teenage son of an Israeli diplomat accused of running over a police officer in his motorcycle could soon have his record wiped clean.

Avraham Gil, 19, was arrested in January in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida - a suburb of Miami - after he intentionally ran his motorcycle over a police officer, leaving him with an 'incapacitating' leg injury, according to authorities.

On Monday, Miami offered the teen a pre-trial diversion program - usually offered to first-offenders - that will allow him to avoid prison time, as reported by NBC Miami. 

Gil instead has to do 100 hours of community service, traffic school and also abide by a no-driving order. He must also donate $500 to the Ryder Trauma Center. 

Prosecutors will drop the charge against him for aggravated assault on a law enforcement if he completes the program.

Avraham Gil, the teen son of an Israeli diplomat in Miami, will avoid prison time thanks to a deal offered by prosecutors on Monday.

 He is seen with his parents in court. His father is Eli Gil, who works with the Israeli embassy 

Gil’s attorney Stephen Millan said in court that the teen's parents diplomatic visa expires at the end of July, and the teen intends to move back to Israel to deserve in the IDF.

Prosecutors claim the cop injured by Gil approved of the deal.

Gil wrote the officer a letter asking for forgiveness, saying the incident 'served as a significant wake-up call in my life.'

'Prior to this incident, I was going to serve in an administrative social service government post. Now, I have chosen to serve in the active military,' Gil claimed of his plans with the Israeli Defense Forces, currently fighting the war in Gaza.

DailyMail.com has reached out to the Miami Dade state attorney's office for comment on this story. 

The Sunny Isles cop was conducting a traffic stop on Collins Avenue when he saw Gil weaving through traffic and motioned for him to stop, but the teen continued riding and ran him over, per the incident report.

The officer then grabbed Gil off his bike and brought him to the ground before arresting him. 

Gil then apologized and allegedly told cops he didn't mean to hit the officer, but was weaving through car lanes because 'he hates waiting behind traffic.'

Despite having at least two previous encounters with cops in just two months, Gil was released on his own recognizance after his lawyer argued that his father Eli Gil, a diplomat at Miami's Israeli Consulate, has diplomatic status.

The State Department states that 'family members forming part of the household of diplomatic agents enjoy precisely the same privileges and immunities as do the sponsoring diplomatic agents.'

Following Gil's arrest, Local 10 uncovered the teen's previous encounters with police, which include a license plate that reads 'pls chase', and appear to point to a pattern of traffic misconduct.

Gil was stopped for traffic violations on December 31, 2023, and a video of the encounter shows him telling an officer his dad is a diplomat.

'Would you like me to call him?' the teen is heard asking the officer.

Miami Shores police tried to pull the teen over again on January 14, but he kept riding, and Miami Shore police does not chase for traffic offenses. 

Gil is charged with aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting an officer with violence. 

The diplomat's son is also accused of driving without a plate or license. 

His next court appearance is on February 26.
