Tallahassee, FL (WTXL) -- Police arrest woman of fraud and identity theft of over 20 people after she is pushed off second story balcony, according to reports.

McDowell was arrested for four outstanding arrest warrants.
Bellamy was taken to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital for injuries from the fall. She was also arrested for two current warrants.
The car was a rental vehicle from Hertz, which after contacting Hertz, police discovered was not rented by either McDowell or Bellamy.
The report states that the motel room was rented by Bellamy who refused consent for police to search.
After further investigation, police confirmed the checks had been stolen from Tallahassee residential mailboxes.
The incident report shows that after police received a search warrant for the motel, they found personal checks, credit cards, money orders, personal identification and cashier's checks.
