MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Police officers arrested William Roa shortly after 11 a.m. on Tuesday at the lobby of his apartment in South Beach over alleged crimes in March, records show.

Miami-Dade corrections booked Roa, 40, shortly before 3:30 a.m. on Wednesday at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, according to inmate records.

Police officers accused Roa of crimes on March 5 at 1400 Washington Ave., after he walked out of Lost Weekend, a pub at 218 Española Way, and found a parking citation on his motorcycle, according to police.

Roa followed a parking officer for about 20 minutes — “verbally threatening to harm” him — before surveillance video showed him approach the officer’s assigned 2025 Ford Ranger pickup truck to “slash both driver’s side tires with a sharp metal object,” a police officer wrote, according to the arrest report.

Roa “has a criminal history of 14 arrests in Miami-Dade County, to include carrying a concealed firearm, battery, obstruction, and resisting,” a police officer wrote, according to the arrest report.

Court records show Roa hasn’t been convicted of a crime in Miami-Dade. On Wednesday afternoon, he faced two new charges: Aggravated assault of an official employee, a third-degree felony, and criminal mischief with prejudice, also a third-degree felony, according to court records. His bond was $3,500.
