Hialeah City Council Candidate Arrested on Trespassing Charge

A Hialeah city council candidate has been arrested on charges of trespassing and resisting an officer after being warned not to solicit, according to police.

The Hialeah Police Department said Milagros Herrera, 58, was permitted to speak to residents at the dining room of a building but then left and began soliciting outside.

The building's superintendent told Herrera she could not solicit at least twice before police arrived, according to an arrest report.

An officer at the scene then told Herrera she could not solicit and asked for her identification. She refused, according to police.

Herrera was arrested and transported to jail. She faces one count of trespassing an occupied structure or conveyance after warning and one count of resisting an officer without violence.
