The former Hialeah Police Chief, Sergio Velazquez, found himself on the other side of the law as he was arrested. The Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office, as Local 10 reported, is slated to unpack the circumstances leading to this turn of events during a news conference scheduled for this afternoon. State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle will be joined by Florida Department of Law Enforcement Special Agent in Charge John Vecchio to reveal further details about the arrest.

Information was scarce ahead of the news conference, with details of Velazquez's apprehension still shrouded in secrecy. Alongside Fernandez Rundle and Vecchio, Hialeah Mayor Jacqueline Garcia-Roves will also be present to caringly provide her take on the unfolding situation, as detailed by NBC Miami.

The joint press conference has been set to commence at 2:00 p.m.
