WINTER HAVEN, FL — A late-night patrol at a closed boat ramp led to the arrest of a Winter Haven woman wanted on multiple felony charges related to fraud and identity theft.
Around 11:08 p.m. Monday, a Deputy Sheriff Cadet with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) encountered a woman at the Lake Sears Boat Ramp, which is closed to the public between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.
The woman was identified as Taylor Nicole Watson, 30, of Winter Haven. A check of her ID revealed an active felony warrant tied to a broader investigation by PCSO.
Watson is facing multiple charges, including:
Conspiracy to Commit Fraud
Fraudulent Use of Credit Cards
Criminal Use of Personal Identification
Unlawful Possession of Personal IDs
Petit Theft
The charges stem from an investigation into a scheme involving stolen credit cards and personal identification, reported by a victim on August 11.
Watson was arrested without incident and transported to the Polk County Jail to face the charges.
