Flagler County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested a Palm Coast woman as a larceny suspect and also a fugitive from Vermont. 

Taylor Crowningshield, 27, was being investigated by FCSO detectives as a suspect for a string of larcenies targeting smoke shops. While investigating her, FCSO's Community Policing Division and Fugitive Unit found Crowningshield had active warrants for her arrest on robbery, assault and probation violation charges from Vermont from May 2024, a FCSO press release said.

A joint investigation between the FCSO, the Barre City Police Department in Vermont and the Vermont Department of Corrections found that Crowningshield had recently moved to Bressler Lane Palm Coast.

On Aug. 18, deputies caught Crowningshield fleeing from a smoke shop in St. Joe Plaza in Palm Coast. Though a deputy following her lost sight of her as she fled, another deputy was waiting for her when she arrived home, the press release said.

Crowningshield, though refusing to cooperate, was arrested at the Bressler Lane home. While the deputy was waiting for backup, Crowningshield took off running, the press release said. The deputy quickly caught up to her and secured her in a patrol car.

Crowningshield as a fugitive of justice and on charges of resisting arrest, fleeing law enforcement and attempted escape. She was taken to the county jail where she is being held without bond, the press release said.
