Tammy Ames (DOB 5/22/67) – Crime Stoppers added Ames to Crime Stoppers 10 Most Wanted list last week. She has two felony original warrant for the sale and delivery of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a school and the possession of cocaine.

FMPD busted a large drug operation earlier this year and Ames is one of the final suspects still at large. She has 25 previous bookings locally for burglary, drugs, fraudulent possession of credit cards, larceny theft, and providing false information to law enforcement.

In addition to her local time behind bars, she’s also spent some time with the Florida Department of Corrections with two sentences there for theft and fraud.

She is a registered convicted felon who has been known to use a list of aliases including Beth Wertin, Tammy Kelly, Molly Bissom and Tammy Pimes. She is 5’6”, 175 pounds and was last known to be living in East Fort Myers.

Zachary Kenst

He broke into a dozen cars during the course of one night, stealing cash, credit cards, power tools, jewelry and other items. He then used some of the stolen credit cards to rack up purchases for food, clothing and electronics.

That crime landed him in the Lee County Jail for eight months, and three weeks ago, he violated his probation.

He is 5’9”, 160 pounds and has multiple tattoos, including a spiderweb and tombstones on his chest, a cross and a sun on his right shoulder and a skull with a man holding a gun on his left shoulder.

He is possibly hiding out in either Lehigh or Cape Coral. And upon his arrest, he’ll be held without bond.

Luwin Cristian Contreras Rivera
