FLORIDA — A Florida woman who spent 13 days behind bars after being accused in connection with a crash that killed three people was later cleared of all charges, according to reporting from Fox News’ CyberGuy Report.
The crash happened on Oct. 4, 2025, along eastbound Interstate 4 near DeBary, Florida. Three people were killed, including motorcyclist Joaquin Deno and Flagler County Deputy Administrator Jorge Salinas and his wife, Nancy Salinas.
Investigators identified Lindsey Brooke Isaacs’ black Dodge Durango after an automated license plate reader operated through Flock Safety recorded the vehicle traveling eastbound near the Seminole and Volusia county line.
According to the CyberGuy Report, the camera recorded Isaacs’ vehicle at approximately 9:51 p.m., about three miles from the crash scene. The crash occurred around 9:53 p.m.
Isaacs maintained that she was not responsible for the crash. Her attorney, Patrick McGeehan, said a time-and-distance analysis indicated she was already beyond the location of the crash when it occurred.
Other evidence reportedly raised additional questions about whether Isaacs’ vehicle was involved. A 911 caller described a maroon Dodge Durango and provided part of its license plate number, according to the report. Investigators also reportedly found red or maroon paint transfer on another vehicle involved in the collision.
Isaacs’ Dodge Durango was black. A specialized Florida Highway Patrol team later examined her vehicle and reported finding no damage indicating it had collided with another vehicle, according to the CyberGuy Report.
Despite those issues, Isaacs surrendered to authorities on April 17, 2026. She faced eight felony charges, including three counts of vehicular homicide and three counts of leaving the scene of a crash involving death. She remained jailed for 13 days.
On May 22, the State Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute Isaacs on all eight charges, according to the report.
Authorities subsequently arrested Alisa Lee Montalvo in connection with the crash. Prosecutors allege Montalvo was driving a maroon Dodge Durango. She faces multiple charges, including three counts of vehicular homicide and tampering with physical evidence. Those charges are allegations, and Montalvo has not been convicted.
Isaacs has since filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against two Florida Highway Patrol troopers, alleging false arrest, wrongful imprisonment and malicious prosecution. Those allegations have not been proven in court.
Flock Safety disputed the suggestion that its technology was responsible for Isaacs’ arrest. The company said its cameras provide investigative leads and do not determine guilt or make arrest decisions.
Automated license plate readers, commonly known as ALPRs, photograph passing vehicles and can record information including license plates, vehicle characteristics, location and time. Law enforcement agencies can use those records to generate investigative leads.
The Florida case highlights the importance of corroborating technology-generated leads with physical evidence, witness statements and other independently verified information before drawing conclusions about an individual’s involvement in a crime.
NCN will continue monitoring developments involving automated license plate reader technology and its use by law enforcement agencies.
