Miami Beach Police arrested 21-year-old Evoire Collier and Dorian Taylor,24, for allegedly drugging Christine Englehardt,24, and sexually assaulting her. The duo also stole her credit cards after they abandoned her in a room at South Beach’s Albion Hotel. The arrests were made after the men were identified by the hotel’s surveillance footage and it showed the men were with Englehardt around 1 a.m. last Thursday.
The footage also showed the men holding Englehardt by the neck so she could stand up as told by Miami Beach Detective Luis Alsina during a court hearing on Monday. During the police interview, Collier explained that they met the young woman at a restaurant and gave her a “green pill.”

Collier and Taylor are currently charged with sexual battery, battery, and burglary. It is unclear if they will be charged for Englehardt’s death until the medical examiner’s report determines if she died from the drug or trauma from the rape.
