Highway Patrol in Florida says they’ve arrested a suspect, who they identify as 23-year-old Nelson Perez-Valdivia, for recording himself emptying a handgun out the window of a Lamborghini traveling 111 mph on the 826 Palmetto Expressway for the gram.
Attorneys for Nelson Perez-Valdivia, 23, argued he should be charged with just one count of discharging a firearm and not 14 counts since he only pulled the trigger one time. The judge agreed and kept bond at $2,500 for the first count and $1 for each of the remaining 13 counts.
Perez-Valdivia is also charged with carrying a concealed firearm, improper exhibition of a weapon and resisting an officer without violence. Each count has a bond of $1.
Perez-Valdivia turned himself in to Florida Highway Patrol troopers Monday morning.
According to a FHP report, Friday at 2 a.m. Perez-Valdivia sat in the passenger seat of a green Lamborghini as another man drove more than 100 miles per hour southbound down the Palmetto Expressway.
The report states he fired the shots into the neighborhood around Tropical Park.
Troopers noted his hand and arm tattoos in his report, along with his Instagram account where he posted the video. Earlier in the night he posted videos of partying in downtown Miami and singing in the car with another man.
Perez-Valdivia is being held on house arrest until his next hearing. The FHP said they were able to track Perez-Valdivia down and matched his tattoos to those seen in the video.
Perez-Valdivia allegedly committed this crime while out on bond on a charge of improper exhibition of a firearm charge.
He is now facing several new charges including discharging a firearm from a vehicle, improper exhibition of a firearm, and resisting arrest without violence.
Perez-Valdivia is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday where he could face bond of up to $112,000.
Information reads: “The man accused of shooting a gun out of the window of a car on the Palmetto Expressway is now in custody and is scheduled to appear in bond court on Tuesday.
The Florida Highway Patrol arrested 23-year-old Nelson Perez-Valdivia Monday morning outside of the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in West Miami-Dade after he turned himself in.”
