Miami-Dade detectives are on the hunt for a Doral man they say is wanted on a stack of felony charges, and they are asking the public to help track him down.
Investigators have identified the suspect as Jimmy Altidor. According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office, Altidor is wanted on accusations that include aggravated battery on a law-enforcement officer, aggravated assault on a law-enforcement officer, fleeing and eluding, reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident that caused property damage. Authorities say anyone who helps lead them to Altidor could qualify for a cash reward of up to $5,000 through Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.
What Investigators Say
Detectives with the agency’s Organized Crimes Bureau are handling the case and are asking for any tips that might point them to Altidor’s whereabouts. They have not publicly detailed what led to the slate of charges, but officials say the alleged incidents took place in the Doral area and were serious enough to trigger the bureau’s involvement, as reported by Local 10.
For now, detectives are keeping the play-by-play of what happened under wraps, but the mix of alleged aggravated battery and assault on law-enforcement officers, along with fleeing and reckless driving, paints a picture of a chaotic encounter they clearly want resolved quickly.
Organized Crimes Bureau’s Role
The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office says its Organized Crimes Bureau operates within the Criminal Investigations Division and focuses on complex, often multi-jurisdiction cases. That is the same unit named in the alert seeking Altidor.
The agency lists its Fred Taylor headquarters in Doral as its main base of operations and offers an online portal for people who want to submit tips without giving their names. More information about the bureau, contact options and online reporting tools is available on the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office information page.
How To Report Tips
Authorities are urging anyone who knows where Altidor might be, or who has information about the incidents tied to his charges, to reach out. Tipsters can call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477 or use the sheriff’s online tip portal to submit information anonymously. People who provide information that helps crack the case may be eligible for a reward of up to $5,000, according to Local 10.
