Following the incident, Campos returned to the scene of the crash after being driven by his wife, and he flagged down an officer, the report said.
Campos, the report said, told the officer that he was leaving the casino when he noticed his vehicle’s windshield was shattered, and he thought it was because someone had thrown a rock at his car. He kept driving to his house, talked about it with his wife and then returned to the scene.
An officer then went to the home, and Campos’ wife said he told her what had happened, the report said.
Campos was then taken to the Miami Police station, where he told the same story of a rock being thrown at his windshield, and he was arrested.
