A cop who met a woman on the set of the TV show 'Bad Monkey' put her license plate on a watch list and pulled her over to say hello, according to authorities.

Florida Keys Deputy Lamar Eliseo Roman, 28, was fired and arrested on March 10, 2026, for misusing Monroe County Sheriff’s Office databases to stalk a woman he met while working security on the “Bad Monkey” Apple TV set starring Vince Vaughn. Hired just 10 months prior, he whistled and cat-called her, joking he’d “pull her over someday” after she gave her number but ignored his Instagram.

Misconduct Details

Roman repeatedly accessed Florida’s Driver and Vehicle Information Database, FCIC/NCIC, and added her plate to a “hotlist” for alerts. On February 19, he sped over 70 mph—nearly causing a head-on collision—to pull her over, saying, “I told you I’d find you,” and hoping to hassle her boyfriend. She reported feeling uncomfortable and unnerved by his tracking.

Aftermath

Roman admitted it was “stupid” during questioning, apologizing for the hassle. Sheriff Rick Ramsay emphasized transparency on agency issues. Roman bonded out; next court date March 26. Charge: misuse of law enforcement computers/networks/devices. This abuse of power erodes public trust—swift firing upholds accountability.
