After conviction in Broward, Maryland man faces 2 charges in Miami-Dade

MIAMI – A 66-year-old woman told police a Friday night outing to a 24-hour McDonald’s in Miami-Dade County turned into a nightmare when a man got into her car before she could lock the door.

The man ordered her to drive, but she refused, and jumped out of her white 2018 Jeep Cherokee screaming for help, while the man got in the driver’s seat and sped away from the restaurant’s parking lot.

Detectives later identified the man as Remmy Todd, of Denton, Maryland, wanted for a robbery on April 19, 2020, in Broward County. The carjacking was on Nov. 3, in North Miami Beach.

According to Miami-Dade inmate records, Todd was at the Metrowest Detention Center on Monday after spending his 32nd birthday earlier this month at the South Florida Reception Center, a state prison.

According to an arrest warrant, Miami-Dade Detective Juan Casiano reported there was a police chase on the night of the carjacking and Todd abandoned the woman’s white Jeep Cherokee near Northeast 143 Street and 16 Avenue in North Miami and fled.

According to Casiano, police officers arrested Todd on Nov. 4 near Northeast 143 Street and Biscayne Boulevard in North Miami Beach. Correctional officers booked him at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center and he was extradited to Broward County on Nov. 8.

After his conviction in Broward court, Todd was sentenced to about a year in prison for the 2020 robbery on Jan. 16.

According to the Florida Department of Corrections, Todd was out of the department’s custody on Jan. 25., and Miami-Dade detained him on March 18. His transfer to TGK was on Friday.

Todd is facing charges of robbery/carjacking and battery on a person age 65 or older.
