Newly released body camera footage shows the arrest of a social media model accused of causing a fatal downtown Miami car crash last month she was on a concoction of substances known as “pink cocaine.”
Maecee Marie Lathers, 24, was arrested shortly after the 7 a.m. Aug. 10 crash in which her Mercedes slammed into a Range Rover and Suzuki, local station WTVJ-TV reported. Two people were killed and two others were injured.
The Instagram model, who has over 13,000 followers, faces 10 criminal charges including vehicular homicide, reckless driving, driving with a suspended license, causing injury and leaving the scene with death, court records show.
Lathers told police she had taken tusi, a party drug also known as pink cocaine, during her arrest, according to WTVJ-TV. Police said Lathers also claimed to have a crystal ball and to be from the future. State prosecutors later shared a toxicology report that found several drugs in her system but no alcohol.
The Miami Gardens resident was placed under house arrest after posting bond, the station reported. However she returned to jail following two DUI manslaughter charges added at a court hearing Tuesday.
