A 24-year-old Pennsylvania woman who was left for dead in her hotel room after being drugged and raped had traveled alone to Miami for Spring break, her father has said. They then allegedly went on a spree using the victim's cards at 'various locations' across Miami Beach including at liquor store South Beach Liquors. Faced with a surge of violence in the city, Miami Beach Police brought in an emergency 8pm curfew on Saturday. Miami Beach police faced criticism after using pepper balls and sounds cannons on the crowd on Saturday night, which black leaders called 'unnecessary force'. Miami Beach was calm on Monday evening after raucous weekend where officials called a state of emergency and enforced a curfew to curb the wild partying and resulting riots.
