A Wisconsin woman allegedly spent several days in the Miami area drugging and robbing men she met at clubs and hotels of expensive jewelry and clothing, Florida authorities said.
Deziree Nicole Hood, 20, faces two counts of grand theft and one count of false imprisonment for separate incidents that took place earlier this month.
According to a probable cause arrest affidavit reviewed by Law&Crime, the first incident took place on May 16 at Candlewood Suites Hotel in Virginia Gardens. The victim told police he met Hood at the hotel where the two had drinks together. He said Hood handed him a drink, after which he “began feeling disoriented, dizzy and unable to remember subsequent events,” the affidavit stated.
When he woke up, his $14,000 Rolex Oyster Perpetual watch was missing, according to police. A blood test on the victim returned positive for benzodiazepines, commonly known as benzos. Cops said the drug was administered without the victim’s knowledge or consent.
Hood apparently had no reservations about flaunting her new merchandise — police found a selfie on her social media allegedly showing her wearing the watch.
The second incident occurred on May 21. This victim told police he met Hood at a club, and the two headed back to the W Miami hotel at 485 Brickell Ave. in Miami around 3 a.m. They continued drinking until 6 a.m., when the victim fell asleep.
When the victim woke up around 10 a.m., he discovered Hood was gone, along with several pieces of his designer clothing and jewelry valued at $60,000. Security cameras allegedly captured Hood walking out of the building around 7:30 a.m. carrying a large bag.
The victim attempted to reach Hood by phone and through Instagram, but she never responded. Police identified Hood through her phone number, and the victim picked her out in a photo lineup, according to authorities.
Officers arrested her in connection with both cases on Saturday and transported her to Miami-Dade Jail, where she has since posted bond. Her next court date has not been listed.
