Deputies said a witness also reported seeing Strickland park in front of the home and retrieve a handgun from the front passenger side of the vehicle before entering the victim’s residence.
According to the release, Strickland was found at her residence on Slumber Path in Palm Coast and placed under arrest. She faces charges of home invasion robbery with a firearm.
“Not controlling your anger and then committing a crime to settle a score will get you arrested and a bed at the Green Roof Inn every time,” said Sheriff Rick Staly. “And she’s off the list for being the mother of the year by taking her children along with her to a home invasion that could have turned deadly.”
Deputies said a search warrant was served, and the gun and stolen cash were recovered.
During the investigation, Strickland admitted to the crime and was taken to the Flagler County jail, where she is currently being held without bond, according to the release.
