Vince Shlomi is colloquially known as "that creepy guy from the ShamWow commercials" -- you know, those dumb super-absorbent cloths that go for $19.99 plus shipping and handling (if you act now!). He's currently on top of the infomercial world, and enjoying all the perks that come with it, like stays on South Beach and prostitutes. The Smoking Gun today reveals that in February, Shlomi was arrested after a violent confrontation with a prostitute at the Setai. He met the working girl, Sasha Harri

An unnamed suspect hijacked a taxi on Alton Road last night, then took off heading west on the eastbound lanes of the MacArthur. The man crashed into another car, began shooting at police, until police shot him.

Now we can look forward to what summer is supposed to be in Miami -- hot, sweaty, and empty.
