During her court appearance on Sunday, a judge set Maldonado's bond at $51,000.

According to the Broward Sheriff's Office, on Saturday, at around 1:32 a.m., deputies received a call about a hit-and-run near the 200 block of Sheridan Street.

Detectives, the report said, were told that the vehicle was a rental.

As the investigation continued, detectives spoke to an employee at the dealership who told them Maldonado, who is also an employee, asked him to give her a repair estimate on a car she was driving, the report said.

When the employee inspected the vehicle, he noticed that the damage was not caused by a crash with another vehicle, and when he asked Maldonado about it, she said she was driving near Hollywood when she hit someone and left, the report said.

The employee then told his manager about what happened, and the manager spoke to Maldonado and asked for the key to the vehicle, the report said. The manager told investigators that Maldonado left the dealership, but called her to return, and she did.
