Pickup truck driver dies in crash
A 51-year-old South Dade man was killed when he lost control of his pick-up truck at the intersection of SW 37th Street and 122nd Avenue, Monday, May 14. Police said that Paul Omer Mary, who lived at 11765 SW 37th St., was driving west of SW 37th Street when he went off the road at the 122nd Avenue intersection. The truck careened through a chain link fence and came to rest in the back yard of 3720 SW 122nd Ave. Mary was dead upon arrival at American Hospital. Because there were no visible injuries, officers reported, an autopsy will be conducted by the Medical Examiner's Office.

Attempted arson A South Dade man found what he thought was an explosive device under his car Wednesday, May 12. Robert Tomlinson, who lives at 11450 SW 43rd Terr., found the device and called the Public Safety Department, police report. A bomb squad dispatched to the scene determined that the object was a military surplus flare which had not been ignited. It had been placed on the car between 9:30 p.m. May 11 and 6 6:30 a.m. May 12, officers believe. Further investigation revealed that Tomlinson had been involved in a dispute with a juvenile on the evening of May 11. Police believe the flare could have put under Tomlinson's car as a prank.

Dixie Hwy. was robbed Monday, May 24, at 3:15 p.m. Sixty-six year-old Kenneth White and 31-year-old John White were held up by a man brandishing a handgun, officers said.

Byrd then walked six yards and collapsed on the field, officers reported. He was dead on arrival at Miami-Dade General Hospital.
