Miami-Dade corrections booked Roa, 40, shortly before 3:30 a.m. on Wednesday at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, according to inmate records.
Police officers accused Roa of crimes on March 5 at 1400 Washington Ave., after he walked out of Lost Weekend, a pub at 218 Española Way, and found a parking citation on his motorcycle, according to police.
Roa followed a parking officer for about 20 minutes — “verbally threatening to harm” him — before surveillance video showed him approach the officer’s assigned 2025 Ford Ranger pickup truck to “slash both driver’s side tires with a sharp metal object,” a police officer wrote, according to the arrest report.
