Overview
- An anonymous tip and video surveillance helped deputies track a white 2022 Toyota Tundra, and on Jan. 13 they say they watched Felix Uresti place nails on Miller Road before arresting him.
- A search of the truck turned up a large bucket of roofing nails that investigators say matched those used in earlier incidents in the same corridor.
- Authorities have documented nearly 30 nail scatterings since Sept. 11, 2025 in the South Miller Road and Lithia Center Lane area, with 27 additional reports over five months.
- Uresti faces six counts of criminal mischief, a charge of throwing a deadly missile at or into a vehicle, and a Florida litter-law violation.
- At his first appearance, a judge set bond at about $1,300 with conditions including GPS monitoring, no driving, no contact with victims or locations, and a ban on possessing nails, screws, tacks or weapons; investigators ask anyone with damage in the Miller Road area to call 813-247-8200.
