A 65-year-old woman from Seminole, Florida has been arrested on stalking charges in Pinellas County for repeatedly harassing neighbors, including yelling profanities at children. This is the second time Dentici has faced charges related to harassment, as she was previously accused of making threatening calls to the family of a victim in a fatal shooting at Florida State University.

Why it matters

This case highlights the ongoing issue of stalking and harassment in local communities, as well as the challenges in addressing repeat offenders who continue to target victims even after facing prior charges. It also raises concerns about the emotional toll such incidents can take, especially on vulnerable populations like children.

The details

According to the arrest affidavit, Linda Jean Dentici was arrested on April 14, 2026 at her home in Seminole after guests staying at a nearby short-term rental reported ongoing harassment from Dentici, who lives next door. Dentici allegedly yelled profanities towards adults and young children playing in a swimming pool, causing the children to become hysterical and run inside in fear. The incident was captured on video by both a sheriff's deputy and the family.

  • On April 14, 2026, Dentici was arrested at her home in Seminole.
  • In 2025, Dentici was charged with harassing communications following an investigation by the Tallahassee Police Department, where she was accused of making repeated harassing phone calls to the Morales family after a fatal shooting on the Florida State University campus.
