ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — A woman was arrested after being questioned for nearly two hours in connection with the search for the suspect in an Orlando police sergeant’s shooting death, Channel 9 learned.
The woman was brought into custody Wednesday evening and was placed under arrest at about 8 p.m.
Deputies said Jameis Slaughter identified herself as her twin sister.
Jameis Slaughter is facing charges of accessory and giving a false name.
She is the ex-girlfriend of Markeith Loyd, 41, who is accused of killing his pregnant ex-girlfriend in December.
Deputies said she went to Loyd’s home four days after Dixon’s death to get rent money from him.
On Monday, Loyd allegedly opened fire on Orlando police Master Sgt. Debra Clayton, who tried to stop him outside a Walmart.
Deputies said in the hours after Clayton’s death, Slaughter circled around the Walmart in her car.
Two other people were arrested Wednesday on allegations they had information on Loyd's whereabouts.
Smith-Loyd collected $200 from Mayan to give to Loyd in the days after Dixon died.
Mayan is behind bars without bond.
Smith-Loyd, who is facing a charge of being an accessory after the fact, was being held at the Orange County Jail in lieu of a $750,000 bond.
Slaughter was being held on bonds totaling $505,000.

When I asked her if she knew where Loyd was, she shook her head no. #WFTV
