The owner, along with an employee at the station and another witness, attempted to get Caceres out of truck before he ended up driving away. Caceres ended up hitting another vehicle before leaving the gas station and driving away, according to the report.
Video released by Only in Dade showed the group was able to catch up with the truck after it left the station, breaking a window and disabling it. Caceres was taken out of the truck and held by the group until officers arrived and took him into custody.
Caceres is being held on a $48,500 bond.
