MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – A woman from Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood is facing criminal charges for a strange string of crimes, starting with stealing a pressure washer and ending with setting a Mazda on fire in a farm field.
Iviss Aburto, who is 27 years old, was caught by police on Tuesday. However, an arrest record says that the crimes started on February 24 in the Palmetto Estates area of southwest Miami-Dade.
According to the complaint, Aburto went to her ex-boyfriend’s residence on Southwest 156th Street shortly before 3 a.m. on that day, unlawfully entered his yard, and started dragging a pressure washer belonging to a second victim to her blue Mazda CX-5, which was parked across the street.
The report says, “Because of previous fights, (Aburto’s ex-boyfriend) decided to call the police for help.” “While he and (the other victim) were outside looking to see if any damage had been done to the cars in the driveway, like what (Aburto) had done to another car in the past, he saw a car speeding down the street and suddenly turn into his driveway.”
Police say that Aburto was driving the car. The story says that when her ex saw her driving her Mazda straight at the two of them, he pulled out a gun and fired several times at her car out of fear for his life.
The report says that Aburto put her car in reverse, then put it back in drive and crashed on purpose into the second victim’s gray Toyota Corolla. She then drove away.
The report says that the victim later told police that Aburto had broken into her car in a similar way in the past, but she didn’t tell police about it.
Police said that early the next morning, an officer on farm patrol saw Aburto’s Mazda on fire in a field near the corner of Southwest 138th Terrace and 162nd Avenue, which is near the Country Walk neighborhood in southwest Miami-Dade.
