Bodycam video captured the arrest of a man who is accused of trespassing onto a yacht in Miami and refusing to leave because he was “holding it” for President Donald Trump. <\/p>\n
Video shared by the Miami Police Department shows the arrest that happened on April 22 while the vessel was docked at 1160 Northwest North River Drive. <\/p>\n
Miami police said the suspect, 51-year-old Terry Roberts, had boarded the yacht and claimed he had permission from the owner, who he identified as Trump. <\/p>\n
The real owner of the vessel said he did not know Roberts and had not given him permission to board, police said.<\/p>\n
Bodycam video showed that when asked what he was doing on the boat, Roberts responded: “I’m holding it for a friend.”<\/p>\n
“The owner is right here though,” an officer states. <\/p>\n
“That’s not the owner. The owner is Donald Trump, the president. You guys aren’t even supposed to be on here because it’s maritime law,” Roberts replied. <\/p>\n
He went on to state that he would not leave, and told officers to “go call [Trump]… I’m a veteran of the United States Army and I’m here to protect Donald Trump’s boat.”<\/p>\n
Police continued to talk to Roberts and they requested marine patrol to assist in the event that he entered the water, an arrest report said.<\/p>\n
Authorities said that after Roberts refused to comply multiple times, they moved in to arrest him. At least one officer prepared a Taser, but did not fire. <\/p>\n
Video shows that officers checked Roberts for weapons and took him into custody. <\/p>\n
After he was arrested, the owner of the yacht checked the vessel and saw that a bedroom door had been damaged, with an estimated repair cost of approximately $3,000, the arrest report said. The victim also reported that the yacht keys were missing.<\/p>\n
When officers searched Roberts, they found the keys in his pocket, according to the report. <\/p>\n
Roberts now faces multiple charges, including burglary, grand theft of a vehicle, resisting an officer without violence, petty theft and criminal mischief of $1,000 or more. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bodycam video captured the arrest of a man who is accused of trespassing onto a yacht in Miami…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":254440,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[225,227,226,123],"class_list":["post-254439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-hialeah","tag-hialeah","tag-hialeah-headlines","tag-hialeah-news","tag-miami"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254439"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254439\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254440"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
