Officers with the Virginia Gardens Police Department arrested Deziree Hood, 20, of Madison, Wisconsin, on Saturday, with detectives describing her in the agency\u2019s arrest report as an \u201cescort.\u201d<\/p>\n

Authorities said the first known incident happened in Virginia Gardens. <\/p>\n

According to an arrest report, Hood and the victim went to the Candlewood Suites at 5911 NW 36th St. and Hood \u201callegedly provided the victim with an alcoholic beverage and\/or unknown substance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShortly after consuming the beverage, the victim began feeling disoriented, dizzy and unable to fully recall subsequent events,\u201d VGPD Detective Darwin Villavencio wrote.<\/p>\n

Authorities said Hood \u2015 also known as \u201cSasha\u201d \u2015 took the man\u2019s property, including his $14,000 Rolex Oyster Perpetual, which she would later post a picture with on Facebook. Police said the man later tested positive for benzodiazepines.<\/p>\n

Investigators said the second known incident began with an encounter early Thursday morning at Coco Miami, located at 8 NE 41st St. in the Miami Design District.<\/p>\n

Miami Police Department detectives said the man invited Hood back to his hotel room in the Icon Brickell building at 485 Brickell Ave. and the two had drinks at around 2:30 a.m. and went to sleep about three-and-a-half hours later. <\/p>\n

Beforehand, police said the man had been able to take pictures with her and got her Instagram profile and cellphone number.<\/p>\n

An arrest report states that the man woke up at around 10 a.m. to find his \u201cjewelry and high-end designer clothing,\u201d worth $60,000, gone. Police said the victim reached out to Hood both on the phone and on Instagram to no avail.<\/p>\n

Police said surveillance video showed Hood leaving the building \u201cwith a large bag (and) wearing the victim\u2019s jersey.\u201d<\/p>\n

They said they picked her out of a photo lineup and MPD detectives became aware of her arrest by VGPD on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, records show Hood was previously arrested in South Florida on May 7, 2025, when Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office deputies took her into custody on a prostitution charge. <\/p>\n

Authorities said the then-19-year-old agreed to receive $120 for sex from an undercover MDSO detective who was patrolling Northwest 27th Avenue near 71st Street \u2015 in the vicinity of an area routinely referenced by local law enforcement as \u201cthe blade,\u201d known for high prostitution activity.<\/p>\n

Police took her into custody on the misdemeanor charge at a nearby motel and the charge remained active as of Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Following her arrests in the latest cases, she is being held in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a bond of more than $15,000 as of Tuesday afternoon. She was pictured in her booking photo sporting a neck tattoo reading, \u201cIS RARE.\u201d<\/p>\n
