A Louisiana woman, with a history of “drugging men” and stealing their credit cards, was arrested following the death of a TV reporter who was in town for the Super Bowl, police said Friday.
Hotel security footage showed Danette Colbert, who lives in nearby Slidell, with Kansas City Telemundo’s Adan Manzano on Wednesday morning and then leaving his room, Kenner police said in a statement.
Colbert went on to use Manzano’s credit card “at several stores in the New Orleans area,” police said.
As of Friday morning, Colbert has has only been “charged with property crimes, including fraud and theft-related offenses” though “this investigation remains ongoing,” police said.
The suspect has an arrest record “that includes allegations of drugging men, theft of currency, fraudulent use of credit and debit cards, and other financial crimes,” said Kenner police who asked that “anyone who may recognize Danette Colbert and has any information regarding her involvement in these crimes to call” investigators.
