A woman wanted in Tennessee for four years was tracked down hiding in Palm Coast and arrested Tuesday by the Flagler County Sheriff's Office Fugitive Apprehension Unit. Natasha Reeves, 45, had been on the run since 2022 on a warrant for violating probation tied to a conviction for financial exploitation of an adult, according to the case details gathered by investigators.

The break in the case came from Tennessee. Investigators in McMinn County, Tennessee, tipped off local law enforcement that Reeves was likely staying in Palm Coast, as reported by tampafp.com. That tip set off a quick search by Flagler County deputies, who moved fast once they had a location to work with.

How Deputies Closed In on the Hideout

Sheriff Rick Staly said the turnaround from tip to arrest was swift. “As soon as we learned she might be in Palm Coast, we quickly found where she was hiding,” Staly said, per the same tampafp.com account. According to CBS12, Staly also said Reeves had left her Tennessee town while on probation and relocated to Flagler County, effectively dropping off the radar of the court system that was supposed to be supervising her.

Reeves was taken into custody Tuesday and transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility, per WPEC's reporting. She is being held without bond while authorities prepare to send her back to Tennessee to face the court, the tampafp.com report notes.

What Happens Next

Reeves was wanted back home on a warrant for violating probation tied to her conviction for financial exploitation of an adult, according to the reporting from tampafp.com. She is expected to be sent back to Tennessee after four years of staying out of reach.
