33-year old Allison Brooke Smith of Auburndale was recently arrested by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.
A past-occurred burglary and theft was reported to the PCSO.
The location of the crime was a residence on 33rd Street NW in the Inwood neighborhood of Winter Haven.
The victim reported that Allison Smith had been seen on the property at the time of the crime, so he tried calling her, but she wouldn’t answer. Eventually, she texted the victim and admitted to the theft, but asked that the victim refrain from reporting the theft, saying she would end up in prison.
A PCSO detective discovered that Allison sold the stolen property to a pawn shop.
On July 14th, detectives located Allison Smith behind a residence on Walnut Street in Auburndale and took her into custody.
During her initial interview, she claimed she had permission to take the property from the victim. She later confessed to her crime saying she needed money for drugs and groceries.
Allison Smith was charged with Burglary, Grand Theft, False Verification to a Pawn Broker, and Dealing in Stolen Property.
