HIALEAH, FLA. (WSVN) – A man accused of breaking into a Hialeah gas station and stealing cash from a coin machine was arrested Thursday night after police said he fled officers and resisted arrest before being subdued with a Taser.<\/p>\n
Eugenio Rodriguez-Colina, 51, faces charges tied to a burglary at a Valero gas station located at 380 SE First Ave., according to a complaint arrest affidavit.<\/p>\n
Police said officers responded around 11:22 p.m. Thursday to reports of a burglary in progress after an anonymous caller reported seeing a man in a light blue shirt hiding behind a dumpster near the business.<\/p>\n
When officers arrived, they found the front glass door shattered and later reviewed surveillance footage showing the suspect allegedly smashing two glass doors with a hammer before breaking into a coin machine and taking coins and cash from inside, the report stated.<\/p>\n
Investigators said the suspect fled westbound on foot before another officer later spotted Rodriguez-Colina at a park-and-ride bus stop near West Palm Drive. <\/p>\n
Officers said he ran from police and actively resisted arrest before he was Tased and taken into custody.<\/p>\n
According to the affidavit, officers found coins, dollar bills and pieces of broken glass in Rodriguez-Colina\u2019s pockets that allegedly matched the damaged coin machine and shattered doors at the gas station.<\/p>\n
Police also discovered Rodriguez-Colina had an active felony criminal mischief warrant issued April 30 out of another county with no bond, authorities said.<\/p>\n
The affidavit states Rodriguez-Colina later claimed he was an undercover police officer working narcotics enforcement for Miami-Dade County before eventually confessing to the incident.<\/p>\n
