MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – A man from southwest Miami-Dade was arrested Wednesday after police say he kidnapped his girlfriend and punched her as she made her drive him to Boynton Beach over a money dispute.
Authorities said the victim was planning to pick up money from a friend in Boynton Beach when Yosmar Yzquierdo, 30, “forcefully” took her keys and demanded she take him with her. They then left from the 25000 block of Southwest 144th Court, in the county’s Naranja area, authorities said.
During the drive, Yzquierdo “struck the victim multiple times on the head with both closed and open fists,” according to an arrest report from the Miami-Dade Police Department.
Upon arriving in Boynton Beach, the victim received the money, but Yzquierdo “forcefully took it from her,” police wrote in the report.
Investigators said he then drove them back to his home, where he demanded to see her purse. After finding money inside, he took that as well, authorities said.
Police said Yzquierdo then drove the victim back to her home and left in an unknown direction.
At approximately 11:55 p.m. Wednesday, MDPD’s Hammock’s units took Yzquierdo into custody and transported him to a nearby police station to be interviewed.
After being read his Miranda rights, Yzquierdo denied the allegations but confirmed he had been at the locations where the incidents occurred, his arrest report stated.
According to jail records, he is facing three counts each of strong-arm robbery and one count each of kidnapping and battery.
As of Thursday, Yzquierdo was being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where his bond information has not yet been released.
Police did not disclose why the victim allegedly owed Yzquierdo money.

The Miami Heat’s selection of Indiana center Kal’el Ware brought mixed results from national media outlets.
The grades have ranged from B to C. Accordingly, the Heat’s selection could be graded by as a slightly above average. Ware is coming off a breakout sophomore season at Indiana, where he earned All-Big Ten second-team honors and made the Big Ten All-Defensive team.
Here’s what the pundits said:
Ayrton Ostly of USA TODAY: “Ware’s athleticism in a 7-foot frame with a 7-foot-4 wingspan makes him an enticing prospect as a defender and dunker. He’s a prolific three-point shooter as well. He needs to improve his effort and decision maker as a passer.” Grade – B.
CBS Sports’ Adam Finkelstein and Kyle Boone: “Ware is the most polarizing prospect in this class. There are a lot of those guys, but he’s the most extreme. He’s been that way since high school. He has every single tool in the book: size, speed, hands, touch out to the perimeter. But he’s said out loud he’s not sure how much he loves basketball. There have been questions about his motor, physicality, etc. But going to the Heat and Heat culture will be great for him — unless he can’t fit in.” Grade – B-
Kyle Irving of The Sporting News: “Ware’s mobility, athleticism and potential to stretch the floor makes him a great fit with the Heat. He’s a rim protector and lob catcher with developing offensive skills.” – Grade – B+
