Deziree Hood surrendered in Miami on two second-degree grand theft counts.

The New York Post, citing WPLG Local 10, reported that Deziree Hood, 21, surrendered with her attorney at the Miami Police Department on Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2026, on two counts of second-degree grand theft. Miami police described the alleged pattern as "robbery by seduction," and a judge ordered her to stay away from the Booby Trap On The River.

Two second-degree grand theft counts accuse Hood of taking property. They do not convict her of either loss, and she was already out on bond in an earlier case that prosecutors and police still describe as pending. A surrender with a lawyer opens the new file and a stay-away order. Identification, fingerprints, and a photo lineup are evidence the state would have to put on later. They are not a verdict.

Deziree Hood, 21, originally from Madison, Wis., surrendered with her attorney at the Miami Police Department on Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2026, the New York Post reported, citing WPLG Local 10. She is charged with two counts of second-degree grand theft. A judge ordered her to stay away from the Booby Trap strip club, Booby Trap On The River, near Miami International Airport. Miami police described the pattern as "robbery by seduction." NBC 6 South Florida reported that a judge set bond at $15,000 at a court appearance the next day. She was already out on bond in an earlier robbery case. Walking in with a lawyer is a surrender. It is not a plea to the new counts.

The first new allegation, as police described it, starts at the Booby Trap in August. On Aug. 9, police said, Hood and a man went from the club to his Airbnb and "continued drinking in an upstairs bedroom." He placed two gold chains worth about $110,000 on a bathroom counter and went to sleep. In the morning they were gone, police said. A detective reviewing club surveillance recognized Hood from a prior arrest, and her fingerprints were found at the Airbnb, according to the New York Post, WPLG Local 10, and NBC 6 South Florida. Recognition on a video and a fingerprint comparison are identification claims. A jury has not heard them.

The second allegation is dated Sept. 11. A man told police he met two women at the Booby Trap and brought them home, where tequila drinks kept flowing, and that the next morning jewelry, clothing, and cash worth $25,400 were missing. Detectives recognized Hood on club surveillance, and the man later picked her out of a photo lineup, the New York Post reported, citing WPLG. Together the two alleged thefts total about $135,000. A photo lineup is a procedure. A pick from that lineup is an allegation until it is tested in court.

Earlier allegations are still pending, prosecutors and police said, as reported by the New York Post, WPLG Local 10, NBC 6 South Florida, and Local 12. In May, Hood was arrested on accusations of taking tens of thousands of dollars in jewelry, including a $14,000 Rolex, from a man at a Candlewood Suites in Miami whom prosecutors said she may have drugged. Days later she was accused of taking about $60,000 in jewelry and high-end clothing from another man in Brickell. Those May counts are accusations in a case she was already out on bond for. They are not findings on the August and September counts. The charging papers call each new count second-degree grand theft, a felony. The state has to prove she took the property, and that she meant to deprive the owner of it, on each count it keeps. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Tuscaloosa police charged Daronte Collins with felony murder after a Saturday apartment-complex shooting.

WBRC's jail photo is captioned Daronte Collins and puts both men at 22. The Tuscaloosa Thread, citing Violent Crimes Unit Lt. Michael Hall, spells the charged man Deronte and puts both at 20. Patch and the Calhoun Journal also use Daronte and 20. A felony-murder count, which the Thread and the Journal describe as Alabama's rule when someone dies during a robbery, is not a finding that Collins fired the shot that killed Tyson. The Thread says the 25-year-old has not been charged.

High Point police charged Kymberli Bowden with first-degree murder in her 13-year-old daughter's death.

The Oct. 8 release is a new murder count on a case the department charged in 2025 as felony child abuse and concealment of death. It is not a trial. The murder-charge release says she remains in jail with no bond. WXII reported a violent-offense hold and a $1 million bond on the older counts. The 2025 release listed her age as 44. The murder-charge release, WXII, and FOX 35 Orlando list 45.

Chicago police charged Chevazz Campbell in the stabbing death of CTA janitor Julian Mobley.

A detention hearing is the first court date. It is not a finding that Campbell stabbed anyone. The department's Sunday release says he robbed and fatally stabbed a 41-year-old man in the 2000 block of West Lake Street. ABC7 and CBS Chicago name that man as Julian Mobley and describe a fare dispute that turned into a stabbing. The department's charge list and CBS Chicago's shorter summary do not match count for count.
