2 Hialeah women were ready to give butt injections in a hotel room. There was a problem
Two Hialeah women thought they were going to perform illegal butt injections, but little did they know they were walking into a police trap.
Just after 9 p.m. Thursday, three undercover Miami-Dade officers met with Mariciela Salt, 61, and Stefanie Ramos, 35, for scheduled butt injections at the Holiday Inn Express Miami Airport, 8436 NW 36th St., police said.
Before the pair made it to the hotel room, police had wired the room with audio and video recording devices.
Salt and Ramos are not medical doctors in Florida, police said.
When the two came into the room, they greeted the undercover officers and began explaining that they needed four bottles of an unspecified liquid and showed the officers what it would do to her buttocks.
After Ramos gave one of the officers support underwear to wear, the pair told the officer they would need to take some Xanax.
As the two set up the room for the operation, police stormed in and arrested Salt and Ramos. A search of the pair’s items revealed Xanax and 800 mg of Ibuprofen.
Salt was charged with unlawful use of a communications device, possessing prescription drugs with intent to sell, practicing health care without a license and possessing a controlled substance.
Ramos was charged with possessing prescription drugs with intent to sell, practicing health care without a license and possessing a controlled substance.
