Lyles was off duty at the time but it is still a violation of department policy. Notably, the 32-year veteran of the Miami-Dade Police Department is set to retire Monday so the investigation will have no effect on her status. Since she was hired in 1980, Lyles has been disciplined over a dozen times, but has also received commendations.
I suppose that she could always argue the mattresses were missing their labels and were in custody at the time. Then again, retirement may be a good option at this point.
