A New York woman who was sentenced last year to 13 years in prison for the distribution of narcotics is involved in a new criminal matter where she is accused of drugging four men, three of whom passed away, to steal from them.

According to reports, the authorities continued investigating the woman, and they asserted that between April 2023 and February 2024, she was involved in additional crimes. They alleged that she was meeting men who agreed to pay her for sex, and while they were together, she had given them drugs containing fentanyl. While each alleged victim was incapacitated, the woman allegedly took their clothes, shoes, watches, cash, and phones.

The district attorney reported that the first incident they tied her to happened with two men in Washington Heights. They believed she lured them to an apartment where she gave them what the alleged victims thought was cocaine. When they came to, one of the men found the other one dead beside him. Five months later, in another instance, she and a man reportedly went to his residence, and he was later found deceased with his belongings missing.

After a Florida woman was arrested on several charges during a traffic stop, the authorities allegedly found syringes and a bag of narcotics stashed inside her female private parts as she was being booked.

Last weekend, a deputy from the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office was patrolling when they reported that a pickup truck with what appeared to be the driver’s seat belt was hanging outside the vehicle. When the license plate was checked, the deputy discovered that the one on the truck was registered to a different car, and the registration tag was expired. The deputy turned on the lights and siren and performed a traffic stop. It was estimated that it took approximately 30 seconds for the driver to pull over and stop the truck, and the deputy noted that they believed it was longer than necessary.

When speaking with the deputy, the woman reportedly stated that the truck was registered in her name, but her license plate had fallen off, and she had borrowed one from a friend’s vehicle. She also allegedly said her driver’s license was suspended, and that she didn’t put on her seatbelt because she was in a hurry.

A grandmother who had custody of her two young grandchildren is facing charges after she was accused of physically and emotionally abusing them in multiple ways.

In 2022, a 32-year-old man with two children was shot and killed.
