MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — Florida Highway Patrol troopers arrested a 19-year-old southwest Miami-Dade woman on multiple charges Thursday after accusing her of extorting a man out of $50 after a car crash under the threat of shooting him.
Investigators said it all happened after Olivia Rios-Papillo and the victim’s vehicles collided on Kendall Drive, near Southwest 152nd Avenue.
Authorities said after the crash, which happened at around 5:10 p.m., Rios-Papillo was “arguing” with the victim and “took a black (bag)” her passenger had on him, telling the victim that if he didn’t send her passenger $50, “she was going to shoot him and blood would be spilled on the ground.”
An FHP arrest report states Rios-Papillo had her right hand “inside of the black bag the entire time.”
Troopers said the victim, fearing he’d be shot, sent the passenger $50 on Cash App.
“Rios-Papillo told (the victim) that he could leave as they got into their vehicle and left,” the report states.
Troopers said the man reported what happened and later called back to say he saw Rios-Papillo parked outside of a Ross Dress For Less a few blocks away trying to fix her car.
According to the arrest report, a trooper found Rios-Papillo and her passenger there and spoke with them.
Rios-Papillo “denied ever saying anything about a firearm,” the trooper wrote in the arrest report, saying that she only told the man to pay the $50 “because the crash was his fault.”
Troopers said the victim’s Tesla camera recorded the entire interaction, however, and they took Rios-Papillo into custody on charges of strong-armed robbery, attempted evidence tampering, aggravated assault, having no valid driver’s license and leaving the scene of a crash with property damage.
As of Friday morning, she was being held in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center with a bond listed as “to be set” in online jail records.
