An Orange City police officer was arrested for allegedly using his work computer and law enforcement database to track his former girlfriend.

The investigation started when a stalking complaint was filed by his former girlfriend, who reported his controlling behavior was ongoing during their ten-month relationship, which ended in October 2024. She claimed he attempted to isolate her from her family, dictated aspects of her appearance, and insisted on knowing where she was at all times. Additionally, she alleged that he put an Apple AirTag in her wallet without her knowledge. During a video chat with the man, he reportedly showed her a live image of her vehicle passing through an intersection.

After their breakup, the man allegedly spread false rumors about the alleged victim being suicidal and continued tracking her through license plate readers. The woman contacted the police and asked them to check the activity on the officer’s computer, which allegedly revealed that he ran her vehicle’s license plate, along with those of her mother and brother, 108 times between April and November 2024.

A woman is facing legal consequences after reportedly threatening to burn down a daycare center if her child, who is currently in foster care, was not given back to her.

Last August, a woman was involved in an incident after she showed up at a man’s residence and allegedly became violent and destroyed his personal belongings. She had her 2-year-old in her arms during the alleged tirade, and she reportedly held the child in a way that could have caused serious harm. When the police arrived, she was booked into the Broward County jail on suspicion of child abuse, child neglect, criminal mischief, and resisting arrest. The woman was released after posting a bond, and the child was placed in foster care.

According to reports, she showed up at KinderCare in Boynton Beach on multiple occasions in a purported attempt to see her daughter. The first incident occurred on December 31, when the woman showed up at the daycare center at a time when she knew the child would be there. When the girl’s foster parent spotted her, she told the mother she had to leave. She reportedly returned to the daycare on January 23, and someone stopped her when they believed she was trying to take the toddler. A week later, the woman, who was reportedly carrying a butane lighter and fire extinguisher, went back to the daycare and confronted her daughter’s foster parent. A security guard intervened, and the woman left. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Department reported that the woman’s identification card, in addition to flammable items, were discovered inside two backpacks near the premises. It was also reported that a voice message was received by the foster parent, and the sender reportedly said they would burn down the daycare if they did not give back the child.

Early last week, a Colorado woman who reportedly dodged the police multiple times was arrested for over a dozen charges when they finally caught her.

On January 27, Mesa County sheriff’s deputies spotted a vehicle that had escaped from them several times when they tried to pull them over.

A Georgia woman and her daughter-in-law are facing charges for allegedly giving children at their home-based daycare sleep-inducing allergy medicine and melatonin at naptime.

According to reports, years ago, a 51-year-old woman opened a home daycare center in North Hall County, and her daughter-in-law, 35, worked there with her. The state of Georgia prohibits unlicensed individuals from charging a fee to provide care for more than two youngsters. It was reported that the women were caring for multiple children, but the Department of Early Childcare and Learning said that they have no record of the owner obtaining a license.

In October, the mother of a child who had been going to the daycare since November 2023 believed her child had a noticeable negative change in behavior and was sleeping more than usual. On December 10, a local doctor gave two children who spent time at the daycare blood tests to see if they could determine the cause. When the results came back, it was reported that high levels of Benadryl and melatonin were detected in the youngsters’ systems. The doctor believed that the authorities should be aware of the situation, and they provided the details to the Hall County Sheriff’s Office.
