SEMINOLE — A Seminole woman was arrested this week in Pinellas County on a stalking charge, stemming from an incident involving repeated harassment of neighbors, authorities said.
According to investigators, Linda Jean Dentici, 65, of Seminole, was arrested on April 14, 2026, at her home in the 13171 88th Avenue North.
Deputies with the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office responded to a residence, where guests staying at a short-term rental reported ongoing harassment from Dentici, who lives next door. According to the arrest affidavit, the incidents occurred on four separate occasions over a two- to three-hour period and were observed by a Pinellas County Sheriff’s deputy.
Investigators said Dentici yelled profanities toward adults and young children who were playing in a swimming pool at the time. The children—ages 7, 5, and 2—were described as speaking in a normal conversational tone before the incident escalated.
Authorities said the behavior caused emotional distress, including the children crying hysterically and running inside the home in fear, with one child hiding in a bedroom. The incident was also captured on video by both the deputy and the family, according to the report.
Dentici was charged with stalking under Florida Statute and booked into the Pinellas County Jail. Bond was listed as zero at the time of booking.
The arrest is separate from a prior case out of Leon County.
In that case, filed in 2025, Dentici was charged with harassing communications following an investigation by the Tallahassee Police Department. Detectives said members of the Morales family after a fatal shooting on the Florida State University campus—reported receiving repeated harassing phone calls and voicemails tied to fundraising efforts related to the shooting death of 57-year-old Robert Morales.
According to investigators, more than 20 calls were made over several days in April 2025. Authorities said the messages contained profanity and threats, and call records linked the phone number and account information to Dentici.
There were racial comments such as: “There’s a certain kind of people that beg, and there’s a certain color that begs too” and “You f**king pieces of dirty fucking brown shit.” These quotes are from voicemails left for the victims.
Each cases continues to move through the courts in Leon and Pinellas County.
