A family support worker who does contract work for the Florida Department of Children and Families was arrested by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office Wednesday afternoon, February 21, 2024, after she lied to a PCSO deputy during a crash investigation.

23-year old Taylor Harris from Tampa was charged with Providing False Information to a Law Enforcement Officer during an Investigation (M1).

Ms. Harris was involved in a two-vehicle crash in the area of Wabash Avenue and Memorial Boulevard in Lakeland at around 4:45 pm.

During the crash investigation, Harris told a deputy that she was driving her white 2013 Hyundai sedan when she collided with a white 2019 Toyota 4Runner, but a witness told the deputy that a man was driving the Hyundai, and he fled into a nearby Burger King after the crash.

Deputies found the male driver hiding in the Burger King restroom. He was identified as 20-year old La’Darion Chandler of Lakeland—a known gang member with a criminal history.
