LEE COUNTY- A Crime Stoppers tip is landing one of Southwest Florida Crime Stopper's Top 10 Most Wanted behind bars this weekend along with her boyfriend.

An anonymous tip led Lee County Sheriff's Office to 23-year-old Jordan Cullen and her 28-year-old d Dustin Ballentine. Cullen was setting up for a wedding when deputies arrested her for violating terms of her community control following a previous arrest for dealing in stolen property. Ballentine was wanted on four felony warrants, stemming from burglary and grand theft charges. 

Both are currently being held without bond in the Lee County Jail.

 

“While criminals might think they’re getting a pass over the holiday season," Crime Stopper's Trish Routte said. "Last night’s arrests should send a loud and clear message that law enforcement is on high alert for anyone committing crimes, or anyone with a warrant who may be trying to avoid arrest. If you’ve got a warrant, the smartest option would be to turn yourself in.  Because there’s a very good chance that a tipster may point officers in the right direction, and they could be knocking on your door Christmas morning.”
