Winter Haven man arrested for harassment of an internet model

Media Contact: Brian Bruchey

A local internet model on the OnlyFans website reported to the Polk County Sheriff's Office that she had received some troubling messages from a Winter Haven man following a recent online transaction.

According to the victim, 41-year-old Rickey Collins had purchased intimate photos from her in exchange for a ring that he used as payment. 

On Saturday, May 16th, Collins then reportedly contacted the victim and demanded she return the ring to him. The victim told Collins she would leave the ring for him at a specific location and he could get it from there, but Collins demanded that she return it to him in person. 

The victim said that she refused to meet Collins in person, and this angered him even more. 

Collins then sent her a photo of himself holding a firearm, and he said that he would show up at her residence in a few minutes. 

The string of messages caused the victim to fear for her safety.

PCSO deputies located Collins early Sunday morning at a bar in Winter Haven and placed him under arrest. He was charged with Aggravated Stalking (F3) and Unlawful Use of a Two-Way Communication Device (F3). Collins also had an active warrant out of St. Lucie County.
