MIAMI, Fla. (WWSB) – A security guard at the Krome Detention Center is accused of stealing more than $5,000 from a detainee.
Staff members were preparing deportation documents for a detainee when he told staff he was missing thousands of dollars in cash.
A report states staff reviewed surveillance footage that allegedly showed Matthew Torres taking the money but never logging it into the property book.
Torres was then allegedly seen putting the money inside his jacket.
Torres was arrested Monday and is facing a felony charge of grand theft.
