A Florida woman posed as a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent and briefly kidnapped her ex-boyfriend’s wife from her job, authorities said. 

Wearing a black shirt with ICE printed on the front, Latrance Battle, 52, went to the woman’s workplace at a hotel chain on April 10 wearing a black shirt with ICE printed on the front, according to the Bay County Sheriff’s Office.

Battle, who had a hand-held radio with her, flashed a sheriff’s office business card and told the woman she had to leave with her, the BCSO said.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the sheriff’s office.

The woman told deputies that she hid behind a neighbor’s car. When Battle came out of her apartment, she saw the neighbor and asked him if he had seen a woman running, the neighbor told deputies. 

Battle told the neighbor she took the woman’s phone because “she knows what she did,” investigators said. The neighbor let the kidnapped woman into his apartment until law enforcement arrived, where she called her husband and described the fake ICE agent, authorities said.

The husband said the description sounded like his ex-girlfriend, who had shown up at his work two years earlier and attacked him, prompting him to file a restraining order against her, according to the Miami Herald.

Battle was arrested on her way to Alabama and charged with kidnapping in commission of a felony, robbery by sudden snatching, impersonating a law enforcement officer in the commission of a felony and felony violation of probation.
