Miami Gardens man arrested after fleeing Florida Keys deputies at 125 mph, sheriff says
A Miami Gardens man is facing DUI and other charges after he allegedly drove as fast as 125 mph while fleeing deputies in the Florida Keys, authorities said.
Jefry Julian Chaucanes Vasquez, 23, is facing charges of DUI, fleeing and eluding, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, reckless driving, and dangerous/excessive speeding, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday.
Authorities said deputies had seen Chaucanes Vasquez speeding at 90 mph in a Mazda sedan on U.S. 1 near Mile Marker 80 at around 11:48 p.m. Tuesday.
A traffic stop was attempted but Chaucanes Vasquez sped away, illegally passing other motorists as he reached speeds of 125 mph, officials said.
Deputies used tire spikes to stop Chaucanes Vasquez near Mile Marker 83, and he was taken into custody and later booked into jail.
Two THC vapes were found in his possession, the sheriff’s office said.
Las Vegas may have cornered the market on quirky wedding chapels, but Miami is finally getting one of its own.
Little Rose Chapel, a newly opened venue in Miami, is billing itself as the city’s first and only boutique wedding chapel, giving couples a stylish alternative to both generic wedding venues or the fluorescent-lit charm of a courthouse ceremony.
The chapel was founded by Brandy Rose and her partner, Rudy, who saw a gap in Miami’s wedding scene. The idea was simple: to create a dedicated space for intimate weddings, elopements, vow renewals and photo shoots, all wrapped in a design-forward package. While the city is packed with luxury hotels, waterfront venues and destination wedding options, couples looking for a small-scale ceremony often find themselves piecing together a plan on their own.
“We wanted to create a space where eloping feels stress-free yet beautiful and fun, whether you’re planning a year ahead or a week ahead,” Rose said. “Miami has incredible wedding venues but there wasn’t a dedicated wedding chapel experience. We built the place we wished existed.”
The opening comes as smaller weddings continue to gain popularity and Little Rose Chapel was designed with that audience in mind. The venue features a dedicated ceremony space for intimate weddings and elopements, licensed officiant services and a private Sweetheart Suite Vanity Lounge where couples can get ready before walking down the aisle. In addition to weddings, the chapel is available for vow renewals, commitment ceremonies and photo shoot rentals.
Whether you’re planning a spontaneous elopement, a micro-wedding with your closest friends or simply need a romantic setting for engagement photos, Miami now has a dedicated spot to make it official—no flight to Las Vegas required.
The Miami Dolphins obtained Greg Dulcich before the beginning of last season and threw him on the practice squad. It didn’t take him long to be called up and he made the most of his opportunity. Over the final nine games of the season, Dulcich recorded 26 receptions for 335 yards and 1 touchdown. He was set to be a free agent, but Jon-Eric Sullivan quickly brought him back and views him as a breakout candidate for the Dolphins this year. With not much star power at receiver, Dulcich could be relied upon and could potentially be one of the top targets on this Dolphins offense.
