Jr.’s mother was Czech. His father was Italian. “Retired USPS” is what he claimed. People said he was connected. In another arrest, his car got pulled over by Miami Robbery Squad. Twenty thousand dollars in stolen gold from a jewelry heist. Right there in the car. Charges dropped. Three years later, accessory after the fact for armed robbery. Charges dropped. People. Relationships. Neighborhood politics. He had a dirty rap sheet, a loaded reputation, and some historic production. He loved the attention. Maybe it helped. Who knows. Free promotion. It didn’t hurt. He liked to brag, “Arrested eighteen times, and no convictions."
