Casino seduction scheme
Lynda Mae Crouse, 32, allegedly met men at casinos and clubs, flirted with them, then convinced them to take her home or to a hotel.
The $98,000 Rolex heist
After meeting a man at Carousel Club in Hallandale Beach on April 12, Crouse went to his home. He felt "funny" and "extremely tired" after she arrived.
Clapping sound, then blackout
The victim heard a clapping noise from his living room before passing out. Hours later, he discovered his diamond-bedazzled Rolex Presidential was gone.
Sleep drug confirmed
One victim's toxicology report showed he'd been drugged with zolpidem, a sleep aid that causes rapid sedation, confusion and memory loss when mixed with alcohol.
Four other open cases
Crouse faces four additional cases in Dade County where victims reported similar experiences: taking her home and waking up to find their expensive watches missing.
Arrested and released on bond
Crouse was arrested Friday and charged with grand theft. She posted her $2,000 bond and was released.
