Officer charged with vandalizing carBy Times staff writer© St. Petersburg Times published April 23, 2002 ST. PETERSBURG -- A Pinellas County Sheriff's corrections officer was placed on administrative leave while authorities investigate charges that she smashed the windows of a boyfriend's car and scraped the paint with a key. Delores A. Lovett, 33, was arrested Sunday morning and charged with violation of a domestic violence injunction for allegedly knocking on the door and speaking to the boyfriend, said George Kajtsa, St. Petersburg Police spokesman. She was charged with felony criminal mischief. The incident occurred at the boyfriend's house at 1123 29th St. S. She used a brick, Kajtsa said, to smash the windows of a car belonging to William H. Daniels, 58. Lovett was arrested shortly thereafter at her home at 1044 10th Ave. S, Kajtsa said. Lovett has been employed by the sheriff's office for 12 years, said Pinellas sheriff's spokesman Greg Tita. In 1997 she was given a seven-day suspension for insubordination, and last month she was counseled in writing for attitude problems, Tita said. She was being held without bail Monday in the Pinellas County jail.
