Driver Arrested After Series of Reckless Intersection Takeovers Across Miami-Dade, Deputies Say.
Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested a 25‑year‑old man accused of leading a string of dangerous intersection takeovers and ramming a marked patrol vehicle during a weekend of reckless driving across the county.
According to investigators, the first incident unfolded just after 2:30 a.m. on Friday, December 26, 2025, when deputies received reports of an intersection takeover at NW 36 Street and NW 27 Avenue. Roughly 40 vehicles blocked all lanes in every direction as a yellow Chevrolet Camaro entered the intersection against traffic, revved its engine, and drifted in circles while spectators surrounded the vehicle. City of Miami police units arrived and dispersed the crowd.
Hours later, the same yellow Camaro was spotted driving recklessly near NW 127 Street and NW 17 Avenue.
Deputies say the pattern continued early Sunday, December 28, around 2:20 a.m., when the Camaro was again seen drifting and blocking traffic—this time at NW 135 Street and NW 42 Avenue. When MDSO units attempted a traffic stop, the driver allegedly struck a marked patrol vehicle, damaging the front driver‑side quarter panel, before fleeing at high speed and running red lights.
Through investigative efforts, deputies identified the driver as Lucio Marin Anselmo, Jr., 25. He and the yellow Camaro were later located in Highlands County, where the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office assisted in taking him into custody.
Anselmo has been charged with Aggravated Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer with a Deadly Weapon and Aggravated Fleeing or Attempting to Elude a Law Enforcement Officer.
