MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Steven Goldman was out on bond on Wednesday in Miami-Dade County with orders to stay away from guns, and the valet area of the apartment complex where he lives in Miami Beach, records show.

Goldman, 53, parked his silver Hyundai Sonata for about 40 minutes in the valet area, a worker placed a parking violation sticker, and this prompted him to push a man and threaten another at gunpoint, according to police.

Goldman drove away, and police officers reported finding him with “bloodshot eyes, slurred speech,” ”a heavy odor of alcohol," and two guns — a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield and a Springfield XD 9mm handgun.

“They probably told you I pulled a firearm on someone,” Goldman told a Surfside police officer during his arrest on Friday afternoon at Collins Avenue and 93 Street, according to a police officer’s body cam video.

In Miami Beach’s Mid-Beach neighborhood, Goldman’s wife asked police officers to impound about 10 firearms that he was keeping in a safe at their apartment at the Seacoast, at 5151 Collins Ave., according to police.

His wife warned police officers that Goldman “had become increasingly unwell,” according to a Miami Beach police officer’s report.

Witnesses in the valet area and valet office reported he was screaming, threw the parking violation sticker, pushed an employee, and pointed a gun while shouting the same expletive several times, according to police.

After his arrest, Miami-Dade corrections booked Goldman early Saturday morning, and he appeared in bond court on Sunday and Monday, facing charges of burglary with assault or battery and aggravated assault with a firearm.

Records show Goldman also has the DUI warrant case. Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Richard Hersch was set to preside over the felony case.
