Aventura police said one vehicle allowed the victim to cross, but Nepo’s wife, who was driving a BMW behind that car, did not and nearly struck the victim.

Nepo was taken into custody at the scene on a charge of battery on a person 65 or older.
According to jail records, Nepo was taken to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center and has since posted a $7,500 bond.
