Sergio Velazquez, the Hialeah police chief from 2012 to 2021, walked out of jail Tuesday after prosecutors accused him on Monday of using city funds to cover lavish personal expenses including Rolex watches.

Instead of enforcing the law, federal prosecutors say a Miami-Dade correctional officer was breaking it and making money in the process.

Officers arrested a former city of Opa-locka employee on Thursday who is accused of stealing nearly $117,000 of taxpayer’s money in about three years.
