Thursday

love under the influence of a proposed vacation




The sneaky punk conned his drunk and coked-up girlfriend into taking the DWI rap. They crash through, trash a Coconut Grove home in his mom’s four-door Honda Accord. Charged today with the May twenty-eighth crash, he's held without bail. Miami-Dade DA Wilfredo Ferrer says Dan Brat, twenty-four, tricked Ivanna Villanueva, nineteen, into telling cops that she was behind the wheel when he crashed through the South Florida home of a ninety-six-year-old woman – taking a thirty-foot tree with him from the front to the backyard. Ferrer says the incredible demolition derby is the end result of a night of boozing and cocaine snorting at the eight hundred thousand dollar home of Brat’s parents in residential Palmetto Bay – when Brat and Villanueva took a high speed joyride for more drugs.

“We know what really happened that day,’’ says Ferrer at a press conference after the court session. He says the couple, along with three pals (who remain anonymous), were doing shots of Jim Beam and snorting coke at Brat’s jeweler dad’s home until four a.m. The crash occurred during a trip for more miller "champagne of beers" high life and cocaine, while Brat was driving, says Ferrer. He says Villanueva was passed out in the passenger seat and “told us she wakes up as the incident is occurring and they were driving through the house.’’ Ferrer says Villanueva “was in love with him’’ and agreed to take the rap, after he promised to pay her bail and legal bills – and take her on a vacation to the Bahamas. He broke his word and she revealed it was all a lie. The DA says that when an x-ray technician at the hospital told her she could not have been the driver because of her injuries, Villanueva told him “it’s a little too late for that.’’
