Nicaraguan man illegally in US facing ‘enhanced' charges after drunken hit-and-run: sheriff
A Nicaraguan man in the United States illegally is facing 'enhanced' charges – due to his immigration status – in Florida for a drunken hit-and-run over the weekend, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office. Sheriff Grady Judd said deputies arrested Roberto Sandobal-Lopez, 34, on Saturday after he crashed his white Honda into someone's fence in Winter Haven at around 7 p.m. and walked off. Deputies were alerted to the crash after witnesses called the sheriff's office to report the incident. Sandobal-Lopez was found by law enforcement walking in the nearby area shortly after the crash and deputies determined he was intoxicated. His eyes were described as 'watery' and 'bloodshot,' and deputies said they could smell alcohol. When he was asked if he had been drinking, Sandobal-Lopez allegedly said he drank six bottles of Modelo a few hours earlier at around 5 p.m. 3 Nicaraguan national Roberto Sandobal-Lopez, 34, was arrested in Polk County, Florida, on Saturday after driving drunk, crashing into someone's fence and fleeing the scene. Polk County Sheriff's Office Two samples during a breath test revealed BAC levels of 0.13 and 0.124, according to the PCSO. Field sobriety tests also showed 'several signs of impairment,' the sheriff's office said. Sandobal-Lopez was taken to the Polk County Jail and charged with DUI with property damage, driving under the influence, leaving the scene of the crash with property damage and not having a driver's license. 3 Sandobal-Lopez allegedly told Polk County deputies that he drank six bottles of Modelo beer about two hours before he crashed his car into someone's fence and fled the scene. Christopher Sadowski His charges have been upgraded by one degree because he is in the US illegally, which makes his 'DUI with property damage' charge a third-degree felony.

Polk County Sheriff's Office Judd said it's fortunate that only a fence was damaged during the drunken drive and called Sandobal-Lopez a coward for walking away from 'the scene and responsibility.' The sheriff also reiterated that being in the US illegally is a crime and, in Florida, immigration status will impact the severity of criminal charges. 'In Florida, if you're committing the crime of being here illegally, your other criminal charges are enhanced one degree; he's now facing a serious felony because he caused damage to property while driving under the influence,' Judd said.

New dashcam shows Tacoma man swerving at pedestrians, speeding in median during Shoreline chase
A 38-year-old Tacoma man was arrested in Fife after police said he led officers on a series of dangerous chases across King and Snohomish counties, including incidents where he allegedly rammed a fire truck, used nitrous oxide while driving, and swerved toward pedestrians. Newly released dashcam video shows McCreary allegedly speeding away on August 3 from Seattle police throughout Shoreline, driving in the media, making U-turns, and nearly hitting pedestrians and other vehicles. According to the Kent Police Department, Zachary McCreary was taken into custody during his lunch break outside his workplace in Fife. Officers said he was carrying a loaded handgun without a valid concealed pistol license at the time. McCreary faces three counts of attempting to elude police, one count of attempted second-degree assault, and reckless driving. Prosecutors are also referring firearm-related charges to Fife Municipal Court. A string of incidents over six weeks Police said the investigation began after a series of escalating encounters dating back to June. June 18: McCreary reported his silver 2025 Honda Civic stolen in Seattle. The car was later found crashed and impounded at a West Seattle tow yard. June 20: Officers spotted a suspicious white Chevrolet Malibu without plates parked near the same tow yard. When an officer approached, police said McCreary jumped into the car and reversed toward the patrol vehicle, forcing the officer back until he was pinned against a fence. McCreary allegedly made hand gestures before speeding away. June 24: Kent police saw the same Malibu speeding on Pacific Highway South. When officers tried to stop it, McCreary allegedly fled at high speed and avoided spike strips. Investigators later confirmed his identity through surveillance footage and earlier contact records. August 3: Seattle firefighters reported that McCreary offered them a nitrous oxide canister, known as a 'whippit,' before reversing his Honda Accord into their fire truck several times and then driving away. Shortly after, dashcam video captured the same vehicle, damaged and missing plates, attempting to hit pedestrians and eluding Shoreline officers by brake-checking them and swerving into oncoming lanes. August 6: Seattle and Kent officers, using phone data and surveillance, tracked McCreary to his workplace in Fife, where he was arrested. Police statement Kent police said McCreary's actions repeatedly put the public at risk. 'This suspect showed a complete disregard for public safety,' the department said in a written statement. 'You may outrun us a time or two, but we communicate and brainstorm with our regional partners. You will just go to jail with more crimes to resolve in the end.' McCreary remains in custody.
