A woman arrested during a 2019 raid in The Villages is in trouble again following a traffic stop in the Oakland Hills development with her man friend.
Amy Louise Sizemore, 49, of Lady Lake, was at the wheel of a black Ford pickup truck at about 2:30 p.m. Thursday on County Road 109 when a Sumter County Sheriff’s Office deputy noticed she was not wearing a seatbelt.
As the deputy caught up to the truck, Sizemore quickly pulled into a driveway on County Road 109D-1.
When the deputy approached the vehicle and asked why she abruptly pulled into the driveway, Sizemore admitted she did not have a valid driver’s license and was hoping to switch seats so her passenger could drive, according to the arrest report. A background check revealed Sizemore — who was arrested in 2019 after a raid in the Village of Palo Alto uncovered a large cache of guns and drugs — had eight prior convictions in Florida for driving with a suspended or revoked license.
Sizemore was placed under arrest. During an inventory of the towed truck, deputies found a silver spoon tip with a burnt bottom and a white substance resting in front of the center console. The substance field-tested positive for cocaine.
The deputy then questioned the backseat passenger, 49-year-old Ryan Morton-Carroll Kronengold of Summerfield. He provided a fake name to the deputy and claimed he did not know his Social Security number.
Suspicious of his identity, the deputy took a photograph of Kronengold and sent it to a detective. The detective ran the photo through a law enforcement database, which positively identified Kronengold and revealed he had active warrants out of Marion County.
Sizemore was booked at the Sumter County Detention Center on charges of possessing drug equipment and driving while her license was suspended. She has been released on $1,500 bond.
Kronengold was charged with giving a false name to law enforcement. He is being held without bond as a hold was put on his custody by Marion County and the state of Iowa.
