A man was arrested in connection with hit-and-run and driving under the influence after crashing into a wall in front of Boulder City High School at about 9:30 p.m. Sunday, police said today.
Boulder City Police officers arrested 38-year-old Francisco Miranda after he struck a vehicle on Nevada Highway and continued driving toward downtown Boulder City, police said.
Authorities said a 52-year-old Henderson man used his cell phone to call police, reporting that he had been rear-ended by a Dodge pickup truck while turning into a parking lot at Jack-in-the-Box, police said.
The man told police he followed the pickup truck and kept updating officers as the truck made a series of right turns, failed to stop at several stop signs and sped through a residential area before crashing into the high school's wall.
A police officer arrested Miranda as he left his truck and he was taken to the Henderson City Jail with bail set at $14,000. No one else was in Miranda's pickup truck, police said.
You think he's not going to hit something else after rear ending someone !!
So you think Francisco is here legally?
I think there may be something going on here. A Kevin Miranda was arrested Sunday for a fatal DUI over on Flamingo. Now we have Francisco Miranda arrested for DUI in Boulder city. We need to check to see if they are related. Maybe father/son. I sure hope they are not related, because since one is 38 years old, and one is 18, they might have 5-10 children between them. And we will need to support them while their parents are incacerated. The taxpayers get it from the front and the rear...
you guys better shut up, if you don't honestly know what happened shut your mouth, he is my FATHER so watch what you say. He IS here legally and there's no connection between him and "Kevin Miranda". If you have any questions ask somebody who actually knows what happened. Please don't post anything stupid, I take what you people said offensively, And i'm sure all of your are older than me so please be mature.
We are glad the police caught this criminal before he (FRANCISCO) killed somebody. Hit and run, and DUI are both criminal offenses. In this country, if you hit another car, you are supposed to stop...and you are not allowed to drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
what do you mean in this country, what are you implying?? grow up your not perfect either.
Actually, Francisco is justified in his rage. After all, his clan are the reason we have to be read "Miranda" rights. Thank you, Francisco. Or, as you say, "Gracias".
While this is a serious crime and DUI should never be taken lightly, implying that Mr. Miranda is in the country illegally, and preceding to berate someone who claims to be family is beyond rude. Its actually just unnecessarily mean. It doesn't do anything to help the situation, it does not help rectify Mr. Miranda's actions, and it paints several of you in a really disgusting light. Mr. Miranda will have his day in court and will pay for what he has done, as any citizen should.
Until then, maybe you should put yourselves in his son's shoes and consider the stress the whole family is going through.
And in the above post, preceding is supposed to be proceeding.
Sorry about that.
at least somebody has some decency to be mature unlike bdover, but pleas, like my 2nd grade teacher use to say, if you have nothing nice to say then don't say anything at all, karma is a bitch and it comes back even worse.
Bad karma, as in your drunk dad hitting us with his car?

Just a side comment, anyone calling anyone names isn't really mature. Whether that name be "whiny little bitch," or referring to someones citizenship in a derogatory manner (especially without proof.)
It just shows one is frightened, scared, and/or upset, and doesn't really know how to rationally address the situation.
Let's pretend it's ok to do the wrong thing. Let's pretend driving around with your brains on booze is just fine. Let's pretend smashing into people with a ton of auto is all right also. Let's just act like nothing matters. Have a nice day. A nice mature day.
I understand people are upset of my Nephews fathers' actions, but to jugde and critisize is unncessary. His father will have his day in court and in front of the only person who's opinion really matters, GOD, So lets leave it up to him. I'm sure those who are giving their unwanted and ignorant critizism are not saints, no one is. We all have done things that are thoughtless, inconsiderate, and selfish and to say otherwise is hypocritical. Analyze yourself before you do others.

Mr Sun, please remove Verofromcompton comments. He is cursing in Spanish.
Corona does suck and so does Tacos Mexico. So does Telemendu.
"His father will have his day in court and in front of the only person who's opinion really matters, GOD, So lets leave it up to him." - well, if you think god is the one to judge him let's send him to meet him.
I know I would be embarrassed and ashamed if my dad committed this serious criminal act, just be glad you don't have his name. Word travels fast in small towns. Hope he gets help and gets well. Best wishes.
