A former Miami-Dade County police chief has been arrested after officials said he embezzled public funds and allegedly spent a good chunk of it at luxury watchmaker Rolex.
Sergio Velazquez, 62, who was taken into custody on Monday as he left his home, served as Hialeah police chief from 2012 until his suspension in 2021. He’s been charged with structuring grand theft and organized scheme to defraud.
