Florida nurse performs butt injection on courtroom Zoom

A Florida nurse on Wednesday performed a butt injection on a patient while waiting for her virtual court hearing to start.

Miami Herald reporter David Ovalle earlier Wednesday tweeted a picture of a man getting a butt injection from a female nurse during the Zoom court hearing.  

“MIAMI ZOOM COURT: We’ve reached peak 305. Someone appears to be getting a butt injection while appearing in a virtual hearing,” Ovalle wrote in his post, referring to Miami’s zip code. 

“It’s my understanding that the defendant was actually the nurse or whoever was giving the injection, which actually makes it a gazillion times more bizarre,” Ovalle said in an email to The Hill. 

The Hill reached out to the Miami-Dade state attorney’s office for information about the presumed defendant and her case.

“The case of the State of Florida v Niurka Aguero (Criminal court case number F20-004150) is charged as a 3rd Degree Grand Theft,” a spokesman said in an email to The Hill. “The case was on the court calendar, via Zoom, for a status hearing (also called a sounding). It seems that during the waiting period prior to the case being brought before the judge, Niurka Aguero was involved in some kind of procedure involving a male receiving an injection in the buttocks, which she appears to have inadvertently broadcast (via Zoom). 

“Needless to say, it appears that everyone involved in the Zoom court call was surprised,” the spokesperson added. 

The Miami-Dade state attorney’s office didn’t provide any more information on the defendant.
