Manatee County Courts shows that the charges for the linked booking for battery were dropped/abandoned (perhaps IMO from either the other person deciding against pursuing charges or no showing for testimony). The only other thing on record for her was charges of possession or drug paraphernalia in 2020. Case was sent to collections as apparently she failed to pay her fine and/or court costs.

The man did not want to press charges to begin with, but the police put the charges there. When she came in front of the magistrate(?) they sentenced her to home confinement away from the man who she fought with. She moved in with another man who was friends with both her and the man involved. When the court date came up, he dropped the charges. At some time she and he moved back in together. The records have been sealed at the man's request as he wanted to keep his identity private.

Is this man she’s with 65+ years old? Any thoughts on who may have picked her up? Assuming she left one of these people’s homes. Any idea what she was doing in Florida? This sounds more like she was living there, but other reports make it seem like she was just there briefly and missed a return flight home to West Virginia.

After looking at her Facebook, I would say she is in Florida for treatment/rehab.

The Florida Shuffle is worth googling for those unfamiliar. My childhood best friend's husband was found dead of an OD in an alley after being paid in money and drugs to move between rehabs in Florida.

I just read a few articles. So many people seeking help being abused by greedy, heartless players.
