Three arrested after Traffic Stop
When detectives approached the vehicle and asked for her license, she fled from the traffic stop at a high rate of speed. Detectives and officers did not pursue.
A short time later, several 911 calls came in stating a white Kia sedan had struck multiple parked vehicles in the area of Seidenberg Avenue. Witnesses also stated that a white female matching Smith’s description was driving the white Kia and then fled the scene on foot after coming to a stop in the 2400 block of Seidenberg Avenue.
Patrol officers, detectives, and deputies from the Monroe County Sherrif’s Office set up a perimeter to locate Smith and take her into custody.
A short time later, detectives and officers spotted a taxi in the area that had picked up Smith. Two other occupants of the taxi – Thomas Edward Dixon, 51, and Russell William Boscamp, 28 were detained along with Smith.
The investigation revealed that Smith had fled the traffic stop due to an outstanding felony violation of probation warrant for narcotics violations. Dixon and Boscamp arranged to pick up Smith to assist her in evading capture.
All three were transported to the Monroe County Detention Center.
Smith was charged with fleeing and eluding a law enforcement officer, reckless driving, leaving the scene of a crash involving property damage, possession of a schedule II substance, possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, use of a two-way communication device to facilitate a felony, as well as her outstanding felony warrant.
