A Cuban man was arrested for assaulting a hotel worker in Miami Beach multiple times, exposing himself, and threatening to rape her. The attacker was identified as Deibbys Cardoso Rodríguez, a 30-year-old native of Cienfuegos who is homeless.
The incident occurred last Monday, shortly after midnight. According to police, Cardoso Rodríguez arrived at the Catalina Hotel and Beach Club, located at 1732 Collins Avenue, and asked to use the computers. He was informed that the computers were for employees only, but he sat down to use them anyway and accessed a pornographic website.
When the employee approached him, he struck her in the face and hit her twice more when she followed him outside. He then pulled down his pants to expose his genitals and asked her, "if she wanted to be raped and if she wanted more from him."
Police Response and Arrest
After receiving the complaint, officers arrived at the scene and apprehended the attacker in the area. Upon being detained and searched, a small bag allegedly containing crack/cocaine was found in his pocket.
During the interrogation, Cardoso Rodríguez refused to identify himself and invoked the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution (No person shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself), although he did not resist arrest.
Authorities noted that he has "an extensive criminal history." Records show that in May, he was charged with resisting an officer without violence, for which he was given a $500 bond. In August 2023, he was arrested for possession with intent to use drug paraphernalia and had to pay a $1,000 bond.
