Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, August 26, 2026 —
A Miami-Dade County woman, Torrasha Monique Smith, has been arrested for a third time in connection with the operation of unlicensed post-operative assisted living facilities. Smith faces multiple charges, including grand theft and organized fraud, stemming from her continued alleged illegal activities despite previous arrests.
Smith was initially arrested in January 2024 for similar offenses. A subsequent arrest occurred in June 2025. Authorities allege that even after these prior encounters with law enforcement, Smith continued to operate facilities that were not licensed.
The investigation revealed that Smith accepted over $200,000 in payments from individuals for services rendered at these unlicensed facilities. The nature of these facilities suggests they were intended to provide care for patients recovering from surgical procedures.
The charges of grand theft and organized fraud indicate the scale and alleged fraudulent nature of the operation. The details surrounding the specific timeline of when she allegedly resumed operations after her previous arrests were not immediately available.
Further investigation into the extent of her operations and the number of individuals affected is ongoing. The Miami-Dade Police Department has not released further details regarding the investigation or the specific circumstances of her latest arrest beyond the charges filed.
