Records show Shipp has been in and out of jail in Alabama’s Montgomery County, and detectives have accused her of defrauding banks.
In 2015, a television station in Montgomery reported Sgt. Denise Barnes accused her of “seeking out males who are looking to make easy money” and giving them forged stolen checks to defraud a bank.
In 2018, a newspaper in Montgomery reported Shipp was arrested again for trying to defraud a bank of more than $7,600. The alleged fraud involved forged checks again.
BSO inmate records show that her recent arrest at the airport was on a warrant related to burglary, robbery, and theft.
Detectives asked anyone with information about this or other cases to call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
