HOLLYWOOD, FLA. (WSVN) - Body camera video shows Hollywood Police arresting a man who is accused of a barbaric crime on Miami Beach.
Keith Hill Jr., 30, was arrested on Hollywood Beach as he was trying to blend in with beach goers. According to Miami Beach Police, Hill sexually assaulted a female rollerblading on Miami Beach’s Beachwalk on July 16.
The video, released by Hollywood Police on Tuesday, shows officers handcuffing Hill on Friday after they matched his description with the man on a Be on the Lookout flyer from Miami Beach.
“You’re not in trouble or anything right now,” one officer said to Hill.
Officials found Hill walking on the sand of Hollywood Beach and made a heads-up observation.
“They observe a guy who looks familiar and they say ‘That’s the guy,'” said Hollywood Police Officer Christian Lata. “They go up to him, they confront him, they talk to him, they ask him what his last name is.”
Video shows officers leaning Hill against the police car as they conducted a body search.
“OK, lean up against here so I can check you real quick,” said the officer.
Officials said Hill was arrested for giving a false identification to police officers when they encountered him in Hollywood and failing to register as a sex offender. He’s also got a sex battery and kidnapping charge that is connected to the alleged crime in Miami Beach.
According to Illinois records, Hill is a convicted sex offender who committed sex crimes against a minor teen.
Chilling surveillance video, obtained exclusively by 7News, captured the crime. A man, who police believe is Hill, ambushed the victim from behind. The woman was rollerblading on the Beachwalk at 23rd Street when, police said, Hill grabbed her and brought her to the ground.
The suspect is then seen dragging the woman into the bushes to continue his crime. Police said Hill took off on foot. The victim was hospitalized.
Days later, Hill was arrested by Hollywood Police.
7News cameras captured Hollywood Police officers walking the 30-year-old suspect into the Broward County Jail.
Miami Beach Police, on Friday, thanked the efforts of the Hollywood Police Department.
“Through the media coverage and through the flyers that were disseminated by detectives, they noticed him, detained him, and immediately contacted the Miami Beach Police Department,” said Miami Beach Police spokesperson Christopher Bess.
Hill remains behind bars at the Paul Rein Detention Facility as he awaits extradition to Miami-Dade County.
