Joe Carollo (born March 12, 1955) is a Cuban-American politician who served as mayor of Miami from 1996 to 1997 and again from 1998 to 2001.[1] Following his loss in the 2001 mayoral election, he served as Doral, Florida city manager from January 2013 until his firing in April 2014;[2] he was reinstated in June 2017, then immediately resigned.[3] He successfully ran for election to the Miami city commission in 2017.[4]

Personal life[]

Carollo was arrested for domestic violence in 2001 after being accused of hurling a terra cotta teapot at his wife after berating her.[5][6] Carollo said he did not intend to hurl the teapot at his wife, but the wall.[6] His wife sought to get prosecutors to drop the charges.[6] The charges were dropped after Carollo completed an anger management course.[6]
