On June 14, 2021 LCSO Deputies arrested Tiffany Kinney White
(5-31-71) on a traffic stop after it was discovered she was driving with an
invalid license. White also had an
outstanding warrant from Citrus County for Violation of her Probation. After she was taken into custody, Deputies
found drug paraphernalia (syringes, cotton balls, smoking pipes and
methamphetamine residue) in her purse.
The vehicle that White was driving was a very distinctive
looking Nissan four door. It was black
and white in color and had a large “Punisher” decal on the hood. This vehicle matched the description of a vehicle
that was used in an earlier burglary and theft from a residential construction
site in the town of Bronson. During that
crime, construction materials and tools had been stolen by two female
suspects.
Detective Justin Douglas of the LCSO Criminal Investigations
Division and several other Detectives began a follow up investigation with
White. Using eyewitness statements,
interviews and physical evidence, Detective Douglas was able to develop
probable cause for the arrest of White for the reported burglary and
theft.
The Detectives also developed probable cause for the second
suspect, Michelle Angelic Dowell (3-19-74).
Conveniently, Dowell was already incarcerated at the Levy County
Detention Center on other charges.
Detective Douglas was able to arrest Dowell at the Detention Center for
Burglary and Theft. White is being held
on a combined bond of $32,500.00 while Dowell’s bond was set at
$30,099.00.
Due to the current building boom as well as the shortage and
high cost of building materials, construction sites have become very attractive
targets for thieves. Citizens are
encouraged to secure their tools and materials as much as possible. Any citizens who may have information regarding
similar crimes or these suspects are asked to contact LCSO at 352-486-5111 or
911. Reports can also be made
anonymously through CrimeStoppers at 1-877-349-8477.
