A Hollywood man who badly beat his girlfriend and threatened to cut her head off with a Samurai sword attacked two officers who arrested him, authorities said.
Francisco Miranda, 53, is facing several charges including aggravated battery, aggravated assault and aggravated battery on a police officer, firefighter or EMT after his arrest Thursday, according to a Hollywood Police arrest report.
Miranda remained behind bars on $183,000 bond Friday, jail records showed. It was unknown if he's hired an attorney.
According to the report, Miranda and his girlfriend got into an argument at his home on N. Dixie Highway and he started punching her, then picked up the sword, which was still in its sheath, and started to hit her in the head with it.
Miranda began repeatedly hitting her in the head with a brick, then pulled the sword out of the sheath and told her he was going to cut her head off, the report said. The woman fled the apartment and when officers arrived they noticed she had several contusions on her head and face, the report said.
The report said Miranda at first refused to come out of his home. When he did come out he was very intoxicated and lost his footing and fell face first onto the pavement, the report said.
Miranda was taken into custody and placed into a police vehicle, but once inside he started kicking the bars of the window, causing $200 in damage, the report said.
When a sergeant and an officer tried to put leg restraints on him, he started kicking them and spit in their faces, the report said. The sergeant was able to pepper spray him in the face, and he was taken to a hospital.
While at the hospital, Miranda told a nurse he has Hepatitis C, the report said. The sergeant and officer weren't badly injured.
Trumps fault.
Well, what did they expect him to use to behead her, a butter knife? geez.
Warning: I am off tonight and the fiance is watching ridiculous reality TV in other room, so I should be posting quite regularly tonight, until I nod off from eating too many Doritos.
S. Florida salute!
Hopefully, this won’t be a case of Stockholm Syndrome, where she is convinced that deep down inside, he really loves her.
Who does Miranda think he is, a member of ISIS?
I’d say 5-10 would be a nice sentence, then deportation if he is an illegal “Dreamer”.
“Fell down”
Okay.
A home on N Dixie Hwy in Hollywood FL...wow that is truly the hood. Not even a self respecting pawnshop is on that strip. South Dixie has bit of urban renewal going on but north, low rent auto body shops by day chop shops at night and roach infested garden apts.
Yeah ... I kind'a looked like that.
Hope they read him his MIRANDA RIGHTS!
(Back in the 60s dad kept a copy in his NYPD cap to read them verbatim to the perps)

Seems Row Infomashun voter have ritter Katana reft side.
