A South Florida woman is accused of drugging a man she met during a night out and stealing his nearly $100,000 Rolex after he brought her back to his home — and police say investigators have identified four other cases involving a similar alleged pattern.

Lynda Mae Crouse, 32, was arrested in September in connection with an April encounter at the Carousel Club at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach. According to an arrest report, Crouse and the unidentified man met around midnight on April 12 and exchanged Instagram information before initially going their separate ways. The man later sent an Uber to Crouse’s residence to bring her to his home.

Once there, the man told investigators that the two had several alcoholic drinks. At one point, he went into his bedroom to change clothes and began feeling unusually “funny” and “extremely tired.” He maintained that he had not consumed enough alcohol to explain how he was feeling.

While Crouse was alone in the living room, the man reported hearing what he described as a loud “clapping sound.” When he returned, he said Crouse appeared to be acting differently and abruptly announced that she was going home. Within minutes of her departure, according to police, he became increasingly tired and confused before falling asleep.

When he woke several hours later, he still felt strange and remembered the sound he had heard before Crouse left. He checked the box containing his Rolex and discovered the watch was gone. Investigators said the missing piece was a gold 40mm Rolex Presidential featuring baguette diamond hour markers and diamonds around the bezel. The man provided an appraisal valuing it at $98,400.

The man did not undergo toxicology testing, meaning authorities have not publicly established through a drug test that he was drugged in this particular incident. He later identified Crouse from a photo lineup, according to police.

But investigators say the case may not be isolated.

During their investigation, Hallandale Beach police found four other active cases in Miami-Dade County involving what authorities described as a similar alleged method. Those investigations involve police departments in Miami, Miami Beach and Aventura. According to the arrest report, authorities allege Crouse targeted men wearing expensive watches at bars or clubs, accompanied them to a home or hotel and stole valuables after they became incapacitated.

One of those other cases includes stronger evidence of an alleged drugging. Police said a victim underwent toxicology testing that detected zolpidem, a prescription sleep medication capable of causing sedation, confusion and memory impairment, particularly when combined with alcohol.

Crouse was arrested September 11 and booked into the Broward County jail in connection with the Hallandale Beach case. Records cited by local media show she was charged with second-degree grand theft and subsequently released on bond.

The allegations remain under investigation, and the existence of similar cases does not establish Crouse’s guilt in those matters. But police are now examining whether the disappearance of the $98,400 Rolex was part of a broader pattern targeting men wearing luxury watches across South Florida.
