Man arrested, two others sought in Miramar drug store robbery

Police arrested one man and were looking for two others suspected in the armed robbery of a Miramar drug store Thursday, authorities said.

Marvin Iniqua Silver, 18, was found hiding inside a Dumpster in Hialeah, three hours after the 4 a.m. armed robbery of the Miramar CVS in the 16000 block of Miramar Parkway, authorities said.

His suspected accomplices were still at large later Thursday.'We are satisfied that we caught one of them. Unfortunately, two were able to elude us, despite our efforts to catch them,' Hialeah police spokesman Detective Carl Zogby said. 'We do need to get those guys off those streets.'

Trial challenging funding for Florida Marlins ballpark begins

The trial in the lawsuit filed by auto dealer Norman Braman challenging the financing of a $515 million Florida Marlins ballpark at the site of the Orange Bowl and $3 billion in Miami projects, begins today in Miami-Dade Circuit Court.

The suit names the Marlins, Miami-Dade County and city of Miami as defendants. It targets a city-county plan to generate millions of special property tax dollars for Miami projects.

What is the suit about? Braman argues using public tax dollars and issuing bonds for a private enterprise - in this case, the ballpark - violates the state constitution, as does shifting $50 million in general obligation bond funding voters approved in 2004 to renovate the Orange Bowl to the ballpark project.
