Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd has used the name “Black Widow” for Samantha Adams, a 39-year-old Florida woman now facing criminal charges. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office said Adams is charged with second-degree attempted murder, tampering with evidence, and possession of prescription drugs that include oxycodone, hydrocodone, and alprazolam.
The man who reported the case told deputies he met Adams on a dating app and knew her only as “Nala.” He said they were at his house a few days before he contacted the police and argued about a car he had bought for her. Authorities said she picked up her purse and walked out, then came back with two whiskey drinks.
