MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A man is facing multiple criminal charges after Miami-Dade deputies said he attacked another man over a seemingly minor car crash in a hospital parking lot, then threatened to kill a deputy trying to take him into custody.
A Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office arrest report states the incident happened at HCA Florida Kendall Hospital, located at 11750 SW 40th St., on Tuesday night.
The report states that Michael Stevenson, 50, of Key Largo, backed into the victim’s vehicle “and when he approached him, (Stevenson) became irate and slapped him in the face.”
Authorities said Stevenson then picked up the victim’s phone from the ground and “launched” it at a fence. They said he then grabbed an expandable baton from his vehicle and launched it at the victim.
“The victim expressed he feared for his life and thought the weapon was a machete and ran towards to the hospital entrance to advise the on duty officer,” the report states.
Deputies said as they took Stevenson into custody, he kept trying to move his handcuffs to the front and was behaving “disorderly.”
According to the report, while being restrained, Stevenson said to a deputy, “I will f---ing kill you.”
Deputies said Stevenson also told them that he is in the Aryan Nation neo-Nazi gang. They said he had a service dog with him, which was handed over to Miami-Dade Animal Services.
Stevenson now faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, death threats to a law enforcement officer, battery and criminal mischief.
Records show he was being held in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $7,500 bond.
