FLORIDA - A TikTok influencer who went viral after filming herself shoplifting from Target has found herself in trouble with the law again for running from police while wanted for violating her probation, according to police.
Florida-based content creator Marlena Velez, who has more than 525,000 followers on the popular app, was wanted for violating her probation when Cape Coral police — who recognized her from a previous arrest — first spotted her on Sept. 29 behind the wheel of her gray Kia Sorento.
The 23-year-old sped away in a residential neighborhood and police decided not to pursue, Gulf Coast News Now reported.
She was then spotted again on Sunday in the front passenger seat of the same Kia Sorento, police said.
However, by the time the car was pulled over, Velez appeared to be gone, and the driver denied knowing where the TikTokker was.
Cops eventually found her trying to hide by lying on the floor in the back seat.
