A woman has been arrested on suspicion of stalking a 12-year-old boy and trying to bribe him with money and sexual favors to gather information about her ex-boyfriend.

Shameico Jefferson, 36, is facing one count of aggravated stalking of a child, which is a third-degree felony.

The boy's mother filed a complaint with the Escambia County Sheriff's Office on Dec. 13, claiming Jefferson dated her brother and had been following and contacting the woman's son. The woman said Jefferson offered her son money and sexual favors in return for information about her ex-boyfriend.

The boy told police that while he was going to the bus stop the morning of Dec. 13, he saw Jefferson drive by, but she didn't say anything to him.

He said that at about 4:45 p.m. that same day, he saw her again drive by the bus, and when it stopped for him to get off, she pulled up.

She allegedly told the boy she would perform sexual acts if he gave her information about his uncle.

The boy said he was alarmed so he pretended to get a call from his mom and told Jefferson to leave. Jefferson also allegedly told the boy the police took away his little sister, which he took as a threat to his family.

Another driver in the area spoke with police and confirmed he saw a vehicle matching Jefferson's in the area at the time of the alleged stalking.

Jefferson was booked into the Escambia County Jail on Wednesday, and as of Thursday afternoon, she remained in custody on a $5,000 bond.
