The Marshals and Task Force members from Okaloosa and Escambia County Sheriff’s Offices, Ft. Walton Beach Police Department and Florida Department of Law Enforcement caught up with a vehicle that Robbins was a passenger in and arrested the 27 year old woman after a felony car stop at the intersection of Highway 85 and Mirage Drive. Robbins was wanted in Michigan for violating her state probation which was part of her sentence from a 2004 conviction on charges of Involuntary Manslaughter, Child Abuse and Perjury. Robbins, who was taken into custody without incident, has a previous criminal history in Okaloosa County and has lived there on and off in past years. There were no local charges against her at the time of her arrest.

Robbins was booked into the Okaloosa County Jail as a Fugitive From Justice and is currently being held there awaiting extradition back to Michigan.
