Miami “Bad Date Scam” Suspect Allegedly Flaunted Stolen Rolex on Social Media

Two theft cases have been reported in Miami, Florida, where a woman is accused of drugging men and stealing expensive items from them. Wisconsin native Deziree Nicole Hood, 20, allegedly carried out the thefts after meeting two men at different hotels just five days apart.

She was arrested on May 23 after one of the victims was able to identify her in a photo lineup. Hood has been charged with one count each of third-degree grand theft, second-degree grand theft, and false imprisonment.

According to the arrest report, Hood met her first victim on May 16 in Virginia Gardens. The two had drinks at the Candlewood Suites located at 5911 NW 36th Street. The man alleged that Hood later provided him with a drink. After consuming the beverage, he began feeling dizzy and disoriented.

The victim said he could not remember what happened after that. When he woke up, his Rolex Oyster Perpetual had been stolen, and Hood was nowhere to be found. The watch was worth $14,000. Meanwhile, Hood posted a photo of herself on social media, flaunting the Rolex.

When investigators tested the victim, his blood report showed the presence of benzodiazepines, a class of central nervous system depressants. Five days later, on May 21, Hood allegedly targeted her second victim.

This time, she met a man at Club Coco. The two then went back to his room in the W Miami hotel. According to the victim, they began drinking around 2:30 AM and went to sleep at 6 AM. Meanwhile, he was able to click pictures with Hood and get her phone number.

When the man woke up four hours later, he found that Hood had left the hotel with his luxurious items worth $60,000. These included designer clothing and jewelry. He tried to reach out to her on the phone and on Instagram, but received no response.

Surveillance footage showed the woman heading out of the hotel with a large bag around 7:30 AM. The second victim then contacted the police and identified the suspect in a photo lineup.

Hood was eventually taken into custody and booked into the Miami-Dade Jail. She had her first court hearing on May 26, during which a judge set her bond at $10,000. Also, this is not the first time that the woman has been arrested.

Last year, she was accused of prostitution after offering s– to an undercover detective in South Florida. She faced a misdemeanor charge in the case, which currently remains active.

In recent times, Miami has seen a growing number of date-related robberies, which authorities have labeled the ‘bad date scam.’ In May 2025, another woman was arrested after allegedly meeting a man at a rooftop bar, drugging him, and fleeing with his $18,000 Rolex. The accused, 23-year-old Rachel Marie Warner, was charged with burglary with assault or battery, grand theft, and possession of a controlled substance.
