Police: Video shows driver of a stolen car in Miami-Dade jumping from expressway ramp

DORAL, Fla. – Florida Highway Patrol troopers released dash cam video of a recent police chase related to pending cases in Miami-Dade County court.

The 19-minute-long video shows Melina Logan’s reckless maneuvers in Miami-Dade while trying to get away from police officers in a stolen car.

Logan, 27, of North Carolina, was in a 2024 Honda Civic that the South Miami Honda dealership on South Dixie Highway had allowed her to test drive.

Logan was involved in hit-and-run crashes.

The high-speed chase affected drivers on the Palmetto Expressway.

Logan stopped near 25th Street. She jumped out of the damaged Honda Civic, ran, and dived into a pond in Doral. She was topless when police officers rescued her and arrested her on May 9.

County inmate records show Logan was at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on Saturday in Doral facing charges in two pending cases and five warrant cases.

In one of the pending cases, she is facing two counts of battery on a police officer and third-degree grand theft of a vehicle. In the other, she is facing charges of aggravated fleeing to elude a law enforcement officer, leaving the scene of a crash, and resisting arrest.

The five warrant cases are for charges of leaving the scene of an accident with property damage.
