Summoned to jury duty, Ramon Torrech arrived at the Miami-Dade criminal courthouse to uphold the law.

Instead, Torrech left in handcuffs — accused of stealing a laptop at the courthouse security checkpoint.

On Monday, Miami-Dade police officers arrested Torrech as he sat in the seventh-floor jury pool room.

Torrech, 55, a plans reviewer for Miami-Dade’s Permitting, Environment and Regulatory Affairs Department, is charged with felony theft.

According to an arrest report, Torrech said, “I was stupid, officer. I should have returned the laptop but I didn’t. I thought about returning it a million times but I didn’t. This is probably going to mess up my marriage and career.”

The MacBook laptop belonged to videographer Jonathan Castro, 19, who was to film a session in the courtroom of Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Rosa Rodriguez.

When he realized the computer was missing, he notified security.

Employees quickly reviewed security footage and spotted Torrech, who sported a ponytail, taking the laptop.

He was easy to find. Footage showed he had the badge that Miami-Dade jurors wear.

In the jury pool room, Miami-Dade Sgt. Ignacio Sanchez asked him for his ID — and noticed the laptop inside a briefcase, according to the report.

“It’s pretty funny,’’ Castro said of the juror’s involvement. “But I’m just happy I got my computer back.”

Torrech will return to the courthouse on Dec. 14 for his arraignment.
