Tenant Accused of ID Theft

I have a tenant that is being renting from me for the past 5 years. Now she is month to month. Paying slow, but paying every month plus late fee.

A few weeks ago, a lady called telling me that my tenant stole her ID and used it to get a credit line at a store. A week later, this lady sent me an Identity Theft Report from the County's Sheriff Office. The police report said the sport goods were delivered and mail notifications were sent to my property.

My tenant said she has nothing to do with that. So far, she has not been picked up or anything.
Has anyone dealt with a situation like this? Should I try to evict her, before she is found guilty? Is it fair to get rid of her before she is found guilty.

If I wait until she is found guilty, she may be put on jail and leave all her belongings at the house.
