Putnam County, FL – Deputies are asking for the public’s help identifying a woman currently in custody after she was allegedly found trespassing on a residential property along State Road 26 in Melrose on Monday.
According to the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office, the woman was told several times to leave the property but refused and appeared “despondent.” Deputies say she would not provide her name or any information, including the name of her dog, which was with her at the time of the incident.
Investigators released body camera video in hopes someone can recognize the woman, her clothing, or the dog to help identify her and connect her with any needed support.
Authorities said her phone later received a call from Palatka Jr.-Sr. High School, leading them to believe she may have a child enrolled there, though the call had no message.
A photo has been shared in the sheriff’s office Facebook comments. Anyone who recognizes the woman is asked to call 386-329-0800 and request the booking desk at the Putnam County Jail.
