She was arrested Tuesday around 5:00pm, according to Hillsborough Sheriff David Gee. She is being held in the Hillsborough County Jail.

But, she said she doesn't deserve to be arrested since she "didn't kill the man." Last week, a body was found buried five feet deep underneath a 30-by-30 concrete slab behind a Plant City house. According to public records that house is owned by Moore's boyfriend, 26-year-old Shar Krasniqi. Detectives identified the body as Shakespeares through fingerprints. Shakespeare, who won million playing the Florida Lottery in 2006, went missing last April. Family members had hoped Shakespeare went into hiding to avoid people he believed we're "after him." Unfortunately, he ended up dead.
Ten months ago, Abraham Shakespeare simply vanished, along with all of his money: million he won in the Florida Lottery. “We fear he’s died a sinister death with sinister motives,” said Polk Sheriff Grady Judd. Now investigators have arrested a fellow law enforcement officer. Troy Young, a 20-year veteran of the Lakeland Police Department, is accused of selling confidential information about Shakespeare to a woman who is now considered a person of interest in the case. “He’s a very well-liked guy. He’s a personable guy, well-liked by fellow officers and well-liked by people in the community,” said Lakeland Police spokesman Jack Gillen. Detectives say Officer Young sold the information to 37 year old Dee Dee Moore. Investigators say they met through a mutual friend, and that she claimed she was writing a book about the millionaire. They say she paid the officer 0 and a plane ticket to run tag numbers and searches through law enforcement databases. “For very little amount of money and Troy’s bad judgment, Dee Dee Moore ruined his career in her overall confidence scheme,” said Polk Sheriff Grady Judd. The sheriff calls Moore a con artist who befriended Shakespeare and Officer Young — a law enforcement veteran whose record was spotless, until now. “Troy Young may not have known her ultimate sinister motive. But he knows as a police officer, it is illegal to run tag numbers and provide that data our of the confidential systems to the public,” Judd said. Young is charged with unlawful compensation, a 2nd degree felony; and misuse of confidential information, a misdemeanor.
