D S, who was born in Honduras, didn’t have a criminal record in Miami-Dade County until August. He has been arrested four times since.
S turned 21 in January. A police officer described him as homeless in a report detailing how witnesses feared he had turned violent and destructive.
“You can’t do this to me,” S said in Spanish during his arrest on Monday night in Little Havana, according to the Miami police officer’s report.
The police officer was on patrol at about 10 p.m., on Monday, and saw S fist fighting a man outside of the Capri Bar, at Southwest 17 Court and First Street, according to the report.
The man, who was bleeding, had a swollen lip and a bite mark on his arm, police said. He reported Silva had threatened him with what appeared to be a knife, according to the police arrest report.
Witnesses reported the man was defending himself after S used rocks to shatter the bar’s glass door, threatened to hit a woman, and damaged a white 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 a man used for work.
Police officers later found a box cutter in a trash bin nearby, and pieces of rocks near the shattered glass from the bar’s door and in the parked van from the passenger’s side window, according to the police report.
Miami-Dade deputies had arrested S for petit theft on Aug. 28 and battery on law enforcement on Dec. 22. Hialeah officers also arrested him for possession of a controlled substance on Oct. 29.
County inmate records show correctional deputies booked S shortly after 8 a.m., on Tuesday at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. He had swelling and bruises on his face.
A Miami police officer reported meeting with a witness who recorded five videos of S on Monday night when county court records show he was on probation for the cases in Hialeah and Miami-Dade.
