A self-proclaimed social media model who allegedly had her “accelerator at 100%” and was high on “pink cocaine” when she caused a fatal crash in her Mercedes sedan that killed two in Miami, Florida — including the father of a 16-year-old boy — is now facing a raft of new criminal charges more than a week after her arrest.
As Law&Crime reported, Maecee Marie Lathers , 24, of Miami Gardens, was arrested by Miami-Dade Police on Aug. 11 after prosecutors say she drove her Mercedes through a red light on North Miami Avenue at about 7 a.m. on Aug. 10, crashing her car into a Range Rover and causing both vehicles to careen into a silver Suzuki.
Lathers was stopped from leaving the scene of the crash by witnesses and when officers arrived to arrest her, she was vomiting and allegedly admitted to being high on a party drug called “tusi,” according to NBC affiliate WTVJ . Lathers allegedly stated “that she was from the future and had a crystal ball,” police reportedly said.
