A used BMW, an iconic car dealership in Hialeah and stolen credit cards turned into a suspended license for a Broward licensed practical nurse.
Showing the stately pace that medical professional discipline can take, the emergency suspension order on Soraya Tibe’s license posted Tuesday, 20 months after Tibe pleaded guilty to two counts of third-degree grand theft and one count of attempting to obtain a car by trick. Tibe got sentenced to a two-year probation, which will end on July 30.
