In 2021 four families were left brokenhearted when a drunk driver going over 100 miles per hour crashed into their loved ones and killed them on New Year’s Day.
After the burial, when the families barely started to grieve, Brian Rodriguez tormented them by defacing the tombstones of Andres Zacarias and Jenser Salazar, two out of the four killed in the West Flagler crash.
“You are nothing but a cruel, distasteful, unpleasant, unkind, vicious human being,” said Haydee Salazar, Jenser’s sister, when going face-to-face with Rodriguez in court on Friday.
Rodriguez, who recorded himself spray painting, hammering, and kicking the gravesite and sent the footage to the victims' families, admitted he was guilty and pleaded to trespassing, criminal mischief, and destroying a tomb.
The 27-year-old, who was facing up to 10 years in prison, was sentenced to 30 days in a Miami-Dade County jail.
“You are not sorry for what you did. You are not sorry for what you said. That’s just something you had to do because it was part of the plea,” said Ingrid Zacarias, Andre’s sister.
