You do some crack and set out to steal a car, but wind up carjacking in a circle...  Miami Beach cops said they discovered a bloodied man casing a car to steal in the parking lot of Mount Sinai Medical Center Wednesday. Alexander Carballido, 28, He was arrested, police said, but not before:
• Nearly running over a Miami-Dade police officer who tried pulling him over near Northwest 31st Street and 28th Avenue at 3:30 a.m. The man shoved his girlfriend out of the car -- her Honda Civic -- and eluded police during a short chase.
• Crashing the Civic into the fence of a Miami apartment building, leading one resident to try to move her car so it wouldn't catch on fire.
• Jumping into that woman's car, pressing a machete to her body and stealing her car. She got out of the car before he drove off in the vehicle.
• Crashing that stolen car later on a nearby bridge. A good Samaritan dropped him off at Mount Sinai, where he was arrested.
''What we're talking about is a cracked-out, machete-wielding moron who went on his own personal countywide crime spree,'' said Miami Lt. Bill Schwartz, a spokesman.
He was charged with carjacking and attempted kidnapping. ...
Carbalido was not, however, charged with stupid. Labels: crime, drugs |
