Former Sweetwater commissioner is under arrest facing 21 criminal campaign finance charges. Forty-five year old Sophia Lacayo was taken into custody at Miami International Airport.
The arrest is reportedly linked to her failed run for Miami-Dade commission last year when she falsely claimed spending one million dollars of her own money during the campaign.Lacayo was forced to resign and plead guilty to perjury for lying about her address to run for that office.
She is due in bond court later today with an expected press conference from the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office.
