South Florida Man Arrested on Dozen Felony Charges

Miami-Dade, FL –

Nicolas D. Vega, a 26-year-old resident of west Miami-Dade, expressed his disdain for law enforcement with a chest tattoo boldly declaring “F— the police.”

Officers discovered this sentiment after apprehending him on nearly a dozen felony charges on Sunday.

According to Miami-Dade police, Vega is accused of stealing an SUV from a McDonald’s in Miami, along with pilfering almost a dozen bank and identification cards.

The incident unfolded around 4:30 Sunday afternoon when officers received a report of a “suspicious vehicle” at Vega’s residence in the 8300 block of Southwest 10th Street in the Westchester area.

Upon arrival, police observed Vega driving a silver Chevrolet Trailblazer around the block, entering and exiting it multiple times.

Upon checking the license plate, officers discovered that the vehicle had been reported stolen earlier that day from a McDonald’s about a mile away in Miami’s Flagami neighborhood.

After parking in his driveway, Vega attempted to enter another SUV, a Chevrolet Tahoe, with two other individuals inside.
