WALTON COUNTY, Fla – A woman wanted out of the state of Lousiana for robbery is arrested in Walton County following a traffic stop in Mossy Head.
Wednesday afternoon, a “BOLO” or “Be on the Lookout”, was sent out agency wide regarding a vehicle driven by Alexa Marie Braud, 34, of Gretna, Louisiana.
A Walton County Sheriff’s Office deputy spotted the red Toyota Corolla just after 2:40 pm at the intersection of State Highway 285 and Highway 90 in Mossy Head.
A Florida Highway Patrol Trooper, multiple units from the U.S. Marshals Task Force, and deputies from the Walton County Sheriff’s Office conducted a felony stop at a nearby gas station. The suspect was taken into custody without incident.
