NORTHEAST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - Police have one person in custody after a car crashed into a Northeast Miami-Dade home.
Miami-Dade Police took Cordarius Bacon into custody for allegedly driving under the influence on Tuesday.
7News spoke with the homeowner who said he woke up to the startling scene along Northeast 113th Terrace and 12th Avenue, just before 4 a.m.
The Ford Focus crashed into the living room of the home and took down part of a fence as well.
“I know maybe something happened around the neighborhood,” homeowner Maurice Brenelus said. “When I get to the living room, I see the red lights and I opened the door. I see the car almost inside the house. I don’t know what it was.”
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue crews responded to the scene and transported Bacon to North Shore Hospital after suffering a broken nose.
According to police, Bacon’s girlfriend called 911 after she witnessed him crash into the home shortly after he left her residence.
The wreck now has Brenelus looking for a place to stay.
“I guess I have to, because I can’t sleep inside of this house like that,” he said.
The vehicle has since been towed from the scene.
Bacon was charged with DUI and damage to property.
No other injuries were reported.
