The vehicle was a black Cadillac SUV, and it was reported stolen out of the Ocala Police Department. Deputies continued to utilize real-time law enforcement intelligence, leading DS L. Forero to locate the SUV at 6900 SW 21st Ave., where he observed two people, including the driver, 52-year-old Jennifer Pattison, entering the vehicle. Law enforcement conducted a high-risk traffic stop, and both individuals were detained. A search of the vehicle revealed a purse with Pattisonโ€™s ID, 8.1 grams of Methamphetamine, and a small amount of marijuana. The investigation revealed Pattison was responsible for the theft of the vehicle. The passenger was released without criminal charges. Pattison was arrested and charged with Grand Theft of a Motor Vehicle and Possession of a Controlled Substance without a Prescription. ๐†๐ซ๐š๐ง๐ ๐“๐ก๐ž๐Ÿ๐ญ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐š ๐Œ๐จ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ ๐•๐ž๐ก๐ข๐œ๐ฅ๐ž During the early morning hours of Wednesday, April 22, 2026, DS K Maharaj conducted a traffic stop on a moped for a traffic infraction in the area of 2600 E University Avenue.
