DELRAY BEACH, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2021 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — We don’t know if a Palm Beach County woman is still dating the man who loaned her Alfa Romeo to someone police describe as a drug addict, but we do know the alleged car thief is in custody.
Kassandra Reel of SE 2nd Street in Delray Beach is now facing grand theft and drug charges. She remains in the Palm Beach County Jail early Monday morning after her arrest on Friday. What can best be described as a “Crime Dramedy” (crime drama and comedy) played out over the past several months.
