BALTIMORE, MD – Attorney General Anthony G. Brown announced the conviction and sentencing of Danielle Lucas, age 52, of Baltimore City, for stealing from a vulnerable adult while she was working at an assisted living facility in Baltimore City.
Lucas worked at Taylor & Jackie Assisted Living Facility and the victim was a resident there. Financial records revealed that on October 31, 2023, and April 04, 2024, Lucas paid a total of $3,722.66 of her own rent out of her client’s bank account. The victim, who is in her 90s, said she was not aware of these transactions from her account and did not give her permission.
While the victim was at the Anne Arundel Medical Center, she told medical staff that her caretakers were stealing from her. Thanks to a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from the Anne Arundel Medical Center and the Anne Arundel County Department of Aging and Disabilities Public Adult Guardianship program, the victim was relocated to another facility, and her complaint was relayed for a criminal investigation.
On June 24, 2026, Lucas pleaded guilty to felony theft before the Hon. Lynn Stewart Mays of the Circuit Court for Baltimore City. Judge Mays sentenced her to four years, suspending all but time served with three years of supervised probation, and to pay restitution of $3,722.66.
In making today’s announcement, Attorney General Brown thanked his Medicaid Fraud and Vulnerable Victims Unit, particularly Assistant Attorney General Kurt Davidson, Senior Investigator Edward Gray, and Investigator Kevin Clements for their work on this case.
The Maryland Office of the Attorney General, Medicaid Fraud and Vulnerable Victims Unit receives 75 percent of its funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under a grant award totaling $7,119,096 for Federal fiscal year (FY) 2026. The remaining 25 percent, totaling $2,373,032 for FY 2026, is funded by the State of Maryland.
