Miami woman accused of pulling knife on supermarket manager after stealing wine

MIAMI — A Miami woman is facing an armed robbery charge after police said she pulled a knife on a supermarket manager who confronted her for stealing wine.

According to Miami police, the crime happened just before 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the Milam’s Market at 3050 SW 37th Ave., next to the Douglas Road Metrorail station.

Authorities said Cherrie Ophelia Adams, 63, of Silver Bluff, walked into the store “and proceeded to the wine section.”

The store manager on duty recognized Adams from “prior incidents” of theft and she had been previously trespassed from the business, an arrest report states.

According to police, the manager saw Adams “place several items in her bag” and leave without paying.

Authorities said the manager confronted her outside of the store and “told her to return the stolen items and to not return” and tried to take the bag of items from her, prompting Adams to pull a knife from her purse and threaten to “kill him if he did not step back.”

The report states that the manager went back to the store and called police.

Authorities said Adams remained near the business and the manager pointed her out to a responding officer, who took her into custody.

Police said they found the stolen items, as well as the knife and “several crack pipes” with suspected cocaine residue.

Besides the armed robbery charge, Adams also faces a misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia.

As of Friday afternoon, she was being held in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, with a bond listed in online records as “to be set.”

Inter Miami CF scores three late goals to defeat FC Cincinnati, 5-3

To no one’s surprise, FC Cincinnati and Inter Miami CF engaged in a scorefest May 13 at TQL Stadium.

A hat trick by one of the best goalscorers in the history of the game, Lionel Messi, sparked Miami to a 5-3 win. Miami scored three times from the 79th minute on to come from behind.

A sellout crowd of 25,513 witnessed the showdown, the club’s sixth home sellout of the season.

FC Cincinnati falls to 4-5-4, staying at 16 points, taking its first loss since April 4 at Red Bull New York. Miami improves to 7-2-4 for 25 points, improving to 7-1-1 on the road this season. Miami moved into second place in the Eastern Conference behind Nashville. Cincinnati started the night tied for fifth but could drop depending on games later on.

Second half highlights as FC Cincinnati squandered a late lead

Cincinnati took a 3-2 lead in the 64th minute.

Evander fired a rocket from the top of the 18 into the top left corner. Deneky passed ahead to him, then he maneuvered around two defenders, and no one stepped up to him. It is Evander’s seventh goal of the season.

Miami tied it in the 80th minute, 3-3.

After a Cincy turnover, Rodrigo De Paul quickly found Messi in transition, who delivered to Mateo Silvetti. Silvetti, playing his first game in a month, maneuvered in space and scored from the top of the box for his fourth of the season.

Miami took a 4-3 lead in the 83rd. A Messi free kick from 35 yds was saved by Cincy keeper Roman Celentano. He collided with Andrei Chirila, which knocked the ball out of his hands. Miami’s German Berterame pounced on the rebound to give Miami the lead, his fourth goal of the season.

Chirila landed hard after the collision and was taken out of the game.

Miami took a 5-3 lead when Messi made a sliding shot after a cross from Silvetti. The ball went off the post, then off Roman Celentano, who was on his stomach trying to get the ball, then in. Messi was credited with the goal and a hat trick.

FC Cincinnati took a 2-1 lead in the 49th minute.

Pavel Bucha scored from close range. He took a crossing pass from Bryan Ramirez after Denkey found him on the left side in transition.

It was Bucha’s second goal of the MLS season and the second assist for Ramirez. Bucha was hit in the head late in the first half and examined by trainers, but stayed in the game.

Moments later, Messi had a free kick from 30 yards saved by Celentano.

Messi scored again in the 56th minute to tie it, 2-2. He had a nice give-and-go with Rodrigo De Paul, who dribbled near the end line and crossed to him from the right side. Messi was unmarked and scored easily from near the penalty spot.

In the 62nd minute, Luis Suarez missed an open shot that Celentano saved, set up by a quick transition by Miami.

Miami ended with 17 shots to 10 for Cincinnati, six on target. After an even first half, Miami controlled the expected-goals mark, with 4 to 1.6 for the home team.

First half highlights

Messi scored from close range in the 24th off a turnover by Matt Miazga. Miazga tried to pass to a teammate on the side but the pass went straight to Messi.

He had a goal in the fifth minute waved off by offsides.

In the 32nd minute, Cincinnati won a corner kick, which Evander placed right in front of the goal line but the ball was cleared away.

In the 42nd minute, a Kevin Denkey penalty kick tied it up. Denkey drew the PK after collecting a good pass into the box by Pavel Bucha and being grabbed by Gonzalo Lujan. Denkey converted for his team-high eighth goal of the season.

The first half was tied 1-1 and virtually even on statistics. Both sides had seven shots, one on goal, and 1.1 expected goals. Neither keeper made a save.

What’s next for FC Cincinnati?

Cincinnati heads to the West Coast to play San Diego FC 9:30 p.m. Saturday, May 16. It is the first meeting between the teams. San Diego, 3-5-4 for 13 points, was set to play Austin later May 13. Cincinnati will leave for California on May 14.

Everglades wildfire scorches over 11K acres just outside of Miami suburbs

A wildfire has scorched over 11,000 acres in Florida’s Everglades, just outside the Miami metro suburbs, prompting officials to warn nearby residents of dangerous smoke.

The Max Road Miramar Fire is straddling the line between Miami-Dade and Broward counties. At least 11,000 acres have been burned, and the fire is 80% contained, according to the Florida Forest Service.

The fire was first reported Sunday. The Pembroke Pines Police Department said that drivers stopping to watch the fires along US-27 were causing dangerous traffic backups.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said they were working with state forest officials to protect nearby properties.

Florida Senator Rick Scott urged people on social media to adhere to any local road closures.

Aerial footage showed flames in the vicinity of a local subdivision, and smoke could be seen billowing for miles.

This comes in the middle of Florida’s wildfire season, which is being compounded by a historic drought ongoing across the state.

Almost 2,000 wildfires have burned nearly 120,000 acres just since the start of the year, the forest service said earlier this month.

Wildfires south of Jacksonville canceled and delayed Amtrak service last month.

While the vast majority of the state is under Exceptional or Extreme Drought conditions, Miami itself is roughly an inch below average rainfall, year-to-date.

However, parts of the Everglades are also experiencing Extreme Drought.

Fire officials are warning residents to take precautions if smoke is impacting your area. Those with respiratory conditions, older adults and children may be especially sensitive to smoke exposure.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue is advising people to stay indoors when possible and set home and vehicle A/C systems to recirculate.
