MIAMI (Court TV) — A self-proclaimed Instagram model who admitted she was high on “pink cocaine” when she allegedly committed a fatal hit-and-run has been denied bond.
At a pretrial detention hearing Monday, Circuit Court Judge Teresa Pooler ruled that Maecee Lathers will remain locked up for the time being.
Judge Pooler said, “I think she’s extremely dangerous” as she ordered that Lathers remain in jail.

Authorities say Lathers, 24, was driving with a suspended license when she ran a red light at 6:45am on Aug. 10, slamming her Mercedes-Benz sedan into a Range Rover which then collided with a Suzuki. The driver and passenger of the Suzuki, Abraham Molina and Jesus Rubio, were fatally struck.
Lathers allegedly tried to flee the scene without calling 911 or rendering aid, but was stopped by bystanders. Footage from a body-worn police camera shows a topless Lathers burying her face in the ground while vomiting and screaming.
