Post Office Named for Trooper Zachary Fink

U.S. Rep. Brian Mast has reintroduced a bill to rename the post office at 290 Northwest Peacock Blvd. in Port St. Lucie after Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Zachary Fink, who died on February 2, 2024, during a high-speed pursuit. This announcement coincides with Law Enforcement Appreciation Day and aims to honor Fink's bravery and dedication to community safety. Mast emphasized the importance of remembering Fink's sacrifice, stating it is a way to preserve his legacy for future generations. The crash that killed Fink also claimed the life of semi-truck driver Arsenio Mas, whose family is pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit against both the Florida Highway Patrol and Fink's estate. The timing of Congress's consideration for the bill remains uncertain, but it could align with National Police Week. Mast described Fink as a hero and a person who could effectively de-escalate tense situations, further underscoring the impact of his loss on the community.
