Detectives accused Gonzalez and Miguel Reyes Jr. of using two explosive devices to cause a fire during a recent burglary at a barbershop in a small strip mall on Friday, in Hialeah.

Reyes had sharply groomed eyebrows when he appeared before Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Laura Anne Stuzin on Saturday in court.

Stuzin ordered Reyes to stay away from the commercial property, at 60 W. 49 St., just north of Milander Park. She also denied him a bond for two of the three charges: Burglary and first-degree felony arson.

Stuzin set his bond at $7,500 for the use of a bomb or destructive device causing disruption. Burglary is a first-degree felony punishable with up to life in prison. Gonzalez is wanted for the same charges.

Detectives asked anyone with information about this or other cases to call Miami-Dade County Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.
