He Met Her at a Florida Casino—Then His Nearly $100K Rolex Disappeared After He Was Allegedly Drugged.

A Florida woman allegedly drugged a man she met during a night out at a casino complex before stealing his luxury Rolex, reportedly valued at nearly $100,000.

Authorities believe he may not be her only alleged victim and are investigating the suspect over four other cases that reportedly share strikingly similar circumstances.

Lynda Mae Crouse, 32, was arrested Friday on charges of robbery and grand theft related to an April encounter at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida.

The alleged victim told investigators that he first met Crouse on April 12 at the Carousel Club, an outdoor entertainment venue located within the sprawling racing and casino complex.

According to the arrest report, the two exchanged Instagram accounts and later made plans to see each other again.

The man then arranged an Uber to pick Crouse up from her address and take her to his home.

Once they arrived, the pair began drinking together. However, the man told investigators he had consumed far too little alcohol to account for what happened afterward.

At one point that evening, he left Crouse alone in the living room while he went to his bedroom to change clothes.

It was after he returned to the living room that the evening allegedly took a disturbing turn.

The man told investigators that he suddenly began feeling “funny” and “extremely tired,” while also hearing an unusual clapping sound coming from the living room.

When he returned, he allegedly noticed that Crouse was acting differently. Shortly afterward, she reportedly told him she was going home, according to the arrest report.

The man said his condition then deteriorated rapidly. He became increasingly exhausted and confused before eventually falling into a deep sleep.

Several hours later, he woke up with a nagging feeling that something was seriously wrong. Still feeling unusually strange, he told authorities he believed he had been drugged.

His thoughts immediately turned to his valuables—and, in particular, his prized luxury watch.

When he checked the box where he kept his Rolex, he discovered that the luxury watch was gone.

Authorities described the missing timepiece as a 40mm gold Presidential model featuring baguette diamond hour markers and a bezel covered in round diamonds. It was valued at approximately $98,400.

The man later identified Crouse from a photographic lineup.

Investigators say the Gulfstream Park incident may not have been an isolated case.

Authorities have linked Crouse to four other active investigations in Miami-Dade County, including cases in Aventura, Miami and Miami Beach.

According to investigators, those cases allegedly follow a similar pattern: Crouse is accused of approaching men wearing expensive watches at bars and clubs, using a sedative to incapacitate them, and then stealing their valuables.

In one of the other cases, investigators said toxicology results from an alleged victim detected the presence of zolpidem, a prescription sleep medication.

The prescription medication is a sedative that can cause rapid drowsiness, confusion and memory problems, with those effects potentially becoming more pronounced when combined with alcohol.

The allegations resemble a type of theft sometimes described by law enforcement as a “bad date” crime, where someone meets a victim socially before the victim is allegedly incapacitated and later discovers that valuables are missing.

In the April incident, the man acknowledged that he had been drinking with Crouse but told investigators that he had not consumed enough alcohol to ordinarily cause him to black out.

Months after the alleged encounter, investigators arrested Crouse in connection with the case.

She was booked into jail Friday on robbery and grand theft charges and was later released on a $2,000 bond.
