The 1.2-mile journey that two children made alone across State Road 436 in Casselberry led to the arrest of their mother, who allegedly left them unsupervised for about three hours.
A federal magistrate in Orlando ruled Monicsabel Romero Soto, arrested on drug charges and connected to a Homestead woman’s carjacking, wasn’t a flight risk as she had two young children in Central Florida.
Investigators have discovered that several other criminal cases are somehow tied to this carjacking, raising even more questions about why it happened.
