On November 9, 2024, Tampa Police Officer Darling was working an overtime detail at the Tampa International Mall when he received a call from mall security about a fraudulent credit card transaction. He first made contact with the victim who indicated that she realized her credit card was missing when she received a fraud alert from her credit card company. Someone had successfully used her credit card to charge over $1,000 at Nordstrom and was then attempting to purchase a $3,870 handbag at Louis Vuitton. Fortunately for the victim, the charge was declined. Loss prevention soon realized that the 31-year-old suspect had returned to the store with a much older gentleman. That man, described by Officer Darling as the woman's sugar daddy, purchased the handbag for her using his credit card. Both individuals were stopped by Officer Darling when they attempted to leave Louis Vuitton. The woman initially denied any involvement, but she repeatedly changed her story. After reviewing security camera footage, Officer Darling placed the woman under arrest. That footage was blurred out by the Tampa Police Department. She later admitted to finding the credit card in the parking lot and using it at Nordstrom. She was charged with Felony grand theft and two counts of Felony fraudulent use of a credit card. On April 18, 2025, she entered a pre-trial diversion program that will allow the charges to be dismissed if she complies with certain court orders. She was ordered to attend an anti-theft class, perform 50 hours of community service, and pay restitution to the victim in the amount of $1,015.88.
