The self-proclaimed social media model from New York faces severe charges for allegedly causing the crash on August 10 while impaired in downtown Miami.The collision resulted in the deaths of Abraham Molina and Jesus Rubio, and injuries to Molina’s fiancée, Juanita Hernandez.
‘I’m from the future’
According to records, Lathers attempted to flee the scene without helping the victims.
In bodycam footage, she can be heard telling officers, “I’m from the future.”
When an officer asks, “Are you on drugs?” she replies that she is on “tusi.” The officer later reports via radio: “She just told us she’s on tusi.” Tusi, or pink cocaine, is a party drug typically made from ketamine and other substances.
Shortly after, paramedics arrived to transport her to the hospital. As she was placed on a stretcher, Lathers exclaimed, “The aliens…they’re coming.”
Charges against Lathers
At the time of the crash, Lathers, 24, was allegedly driving at high speed without a valid license. Her white Mercedes collided with a Suzuki carrying Molina, Hernandez, and Rubio. The impact resulted in fatal injuries to Molina and Rubio, while Hernandez survived with injuries. Lathers faces charges of vehicular homicide, reckless driving, driving with a suspended license, and causing injury.
Hernandez described the tragedy on a GoFundMe page, stating, “Abraham’s son, just 16 years old, has been left without the love and care of his father, who was his whole world.”
Reports indicate that toxicology tests found multiple drugs in Lathers’ system.
Lathers was initially under house arrest with GPS monitoring but was recently jailed again after prosecutors added DUI manslaughter charges.
Hearing scheduled for September 16
Lathers’ pretrial detention hearing is scheduled for September 16. If convicted of DUI manslaughter, she could face up to 30 years in prison.
