GAINESVILLE, Fla. – A 22-year-old named Marquisha S. Jackson was taken into custody yesterday, facing charges of exploiting an elderly or disabled individual after she allegedly accessed a client’s bank account to buy groceries and order food deliveries for herself.

Back in January 2025, the Department of Children and Families (DCF) informed the Gainesville Police Department that Jackson had misused her trusted role as a caregiver by taking the elderly or disabled client’s money to make personal purchases.

Jackson worked as a caregiver for the victim, a disabled adult, and was reportedly aware of the victim’s physical and mental challenges, as well as her financial situation.

DCF became aware of the situation when the victim learned that a transaction against her checking account was declined; inspection of the victim’s financial records reportedly revealed numerous charges for groceries and food delivery services and a charge of $500 that was attempted on a pre-approved credit card application.

Post Miranda, Jackson reportedly admitted using the victim’s checking account for personal expenses by entering the victim’s account into Apple Wallet on her personal phone. She also eventually admitted using the same account to try to establish a line of credit via a pre-approved credit card that matched the attempted transaction found on the victim’s account.

Jackson reportedly agreed that she was in a position of trust but said she felt like she had the victim’s permission and was often given gifts; she said she was planning on paying the victim back.

Jackson has no criminal history, and in her arrest warrant, Judge Denise Ferrero ordered her released on her own recognizance.

Articles about arrests are based on reports from law enforcement agencies. The charges listed are taken from the arrest report and/or court records and are only accusations. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
