An Alabama woman has been arrested after driving over two hours to Walton County, Florida, in an attempt to have sex with a minor.
According to the Walton County Sheriff’s Office, on March 29, deputies were called to a residence on Pheonix Street in Santa Rosa Beach after it was reported that a minor was at a house drinking and smoking.
After arriving on the scene, deputies spoke with Tracey Heinfeld, 53, of Leeds, Alabama.
Heinfeld told authorities that she drove from Orange Beach to check on a teenager who was friends with her son, saying she found the address by using someone’s Snapchat account.
When deputies spoke to the juvenile, the teen said he was scared of Heinfeld and that she was trying to have sexual relations with him. The victim also showed the deputy’s text messages sent from Heinfeld’s phone stating she wanted to have sex with him.
While reading the text messages on the juvenile’s phone, Heinfeld sent two pictures: a WCSO patrol vehicle at the scene and deputies standing in front of the house.
Heinfeld was read her rights and continued to speak to WCSO deputies, saying again that she found the address from Snapchat. She allowed deputies to access her phone, where they could see she had deleted text messages from the conversation with the juvenile.
After recovering the text messages, they obviously matched the text messages on the victim’s phone. In one of them, the juvenile begged Heinfeld not to come and told her he did not want to see her.
Other parts of the conversation showed Heinfeld saying, “I’m coming to see you. I’m already halfway there, so when I get there, do you wanna go to the club? I’ll go to the pub with you. Maybe I’ll pick you up a drink and get you drunk and take advantage of you, or maybe I won’t. Maybe I’ll just let you see me and then just turn around and go home.”
Heinfeld has been arrested for using an electronic device to solicit a child, traveling to meet a minor for sex, cyber stalking, and tampering with evidence.
She was transported to the Walton County Jail, where she was issued a $500,000 bond
