A nurse was arrested Tuesday after authorities said she assaulted a coworker, damaged property, and resisted law enforcement at an assisted living facility in Miami-Dade.
The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office identified the suspect as 29-year-old BBR-L
Jail records show R-L is facing multiple charges, including grand theft, battery, criminal mischief, resisting an officer without violence, and two counts of assault on a first responder.
Her arrest report states that the incident occurred at Norita Adult Family Care, located at 11971 SW 118 St., in The Crossings area of Miami-Dade County.
Deputies responded around 9:15 a.m. to reports of an altercation between two employees at the facility when they countered Rivera-Lopez walking from the scene, appearing agitated and yelling incoherently.
According to the report, R-L initially refused to comply with deputies’ orders and got into a fighting stance. Authorities said she was then tased after allegedly attempting to hit one of the deputies and was later restrained with the assistance of additional officers.
Investigators said the confrontation began as an argument with a coworker.
They said R-L allegedly struck her coworker on the head with a shoe, punched her in the face, and grabbed her ankle, causing the victim to fall and injure her knee.
She then damaged property inside the facility, including two televisions and a photo frame, and took the victim’s cellphone, which was later recovered by deputies, the report stated.
A motive for the attack is unclear at this time.
Jail records show R-L is being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where her bond was listed as “to be set.”
