Police: Woman puts sugar water in fuel tank because she ‘felt ignored’ in Homestead

A 21-year-old woman faced a third-degree felony charge on Friday after a woman accused her of damaging her car in Homestead, according to police. A woman told police officers that Maya Cambero admitted to putting “sugar water and gasoline” in her parked car’s fuel tank on Monday because she “felt ignored,” according to police. Police officers detained Cambero at 5:25 p.m. on Thursday at 430 South Dixie Highway in Coral Gables and questioned her at the Homestead Police Department, according to a police report. Miami-Dade County corrections booked Cambero shortly before 2 a.m. on Friday at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, according to inmate records. Cambero faced a charge of criminal mischief of $1,000 or more. She appeared in bond court on Friday afternoon. A judge set her bond at $2,500, according to court records. Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Jason Bloch was set to preside over the case.
