A Royal Caribbean cruise passenger is suing the Broward County Sheriff’s Office in Florida after being wrongfully arrested for child endangerment.
The 50-year-old woman, Jennifer Heath Box, was detained for three days after disembarking from a family cruise trip in Fort Lauderdale in December 2022.
Officers mistook her for Jennifer del Carmin Heath, a woman 23 years younger, who was wanted in a felony case involving a 1-year-old and a 3-year-old child.
