MIAMI – A 24-year-old Cuban man who doesn’t speak English was facing 10 charges in four cases in Miami-Dade County.

According to prosecutors, Torres-Carbonell had two pending felony cases for grand theft auto and two new cases.

After his latest arrest on Friday, he appeared before Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Carmen Cabarga twice on Saturday.
