FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – At 5-foot-1-inch tall, a 25-year-old woman who enjoys baking looks harmless, yet detectives from two police departments in Broward County have described her as a drug dealer.
One reported Alexandra Ramroopsingh, born in Miami, was armed. Another noted that she was driving aggressively. The three times she was arrested in Broward she was driving a black Mercedes-Benz.

State records show Ramroopsingh, a business owner, incorporated Rocky’s Sweet Treats at 22 out of her parents’ three-bedroom house along Sunflower Drive, near the Oriole Golf Club, in Margate.
Months later, Coconut Creek police officers reported Ramroopsingh entered “a residence where narcotics are known to be sold out of” — while carrying a gray backpack — and left an hour later.
During a traffic stop nearby, Ramroopsingh allegedly reeked of marijuana and told a Coconut Creek police officer that she was carrying a silver Ruger EC9 9mm for protection.
“A search of the backpack revealed several different types of narcotics: white/green Xanax pills, marijuana, THC carts, THC edibles commercially packaged, mushrooms, LSD, Adderall, and empty small plastic baggies,” Officer Dorian Pumalo wrote in the arrest report, also adding that she confessed to selling “narcotics to people while sometimes making deliveries for her business.”
Broward County Circuit Judge Michael I. Rothschild ordered a 12-month probation, but records show he terminated the probation four days later, and the case was disposed of last year. Ramroopsingh was arrested again twice this year and Rothschild was set to preside on both cases.
On Jan. 24, a Margate detective reported he was in an unmarked police car when he saw Ramroopsingh tailgating him in a black Mercedes-Benz before she “switched lanes, accelerated in speed, and cut in front aggressively.” He reported conducting a traffic stop at 66 Avenue and smelling marijuana.
“In the back passenger seat, inside a white cloth satchel, there were two brown paper bags. Inside one of the paper bags, various foil-sealed bags of suspect cannabis were located. Inside the second bag, there were two bars of mushroom chocolate and a small plastic baggie containing 4 blue Diamond-shaped tablets with a skull printed on one,” Officer Laura Jimenez wrote in the arrest report, records show.
Prosecutors filed a felony case against Ramroopsingh on Jan. 25 for possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, possession of marijuana, possession of MDMA, and careless driving. She was released on a $2,500 bond.
On Thursday, while the January case was pending, Margate police officers arrested Ramroopsingh again. Prosecutors filed their second felony case this year against her on Friday.
Ramroopsingh was at the main jail on Saturday in Fort Lauderdale waiting for a hearing to prove that her bail money doesn’t come from the proceeds of her alleged crimes.
Ramroopsingh was facing 18 new charges: Trafficking in Oxycodone, trafficking in LSD, trafficking in schd, sale of MDMA, two counts of sale of marijuana, unlawful use of a two-way communications device, and 11 counts of possession with intent to sell, manufacture, or deliver.
