MIAMI - A police officer and two other men were arrested Monday, accused of entering the home of a Brazilian man, threatening him and stealing a rare watch and more than $47,000 in cash.
Police said Officer Milton McKinnon, 35, joined Michael Alexis Kuryla and Justin Tavis Bohanan, both 31, in the raid.
Police said that on April 17 the three went to the home of Francisco Decarvalho, a Brazilian national, in the Brickell neighborhood. McKinnon was in uniform and the other two told Decarvalho they were police officers, investigators said.
According to police spokesman Lt. Bill Schwartz, the men were allegedly hired by Miami jewelry store owner David Levison to collect $61,000 from Decarvalho.
Police do not know if McKinnon was paid for his participation, during which he was on duty, dressed in full police uniform, driving a marked vehicle and carrying his service firearm, police said.
