Woman arrested in Spring for Exploiting the Elderly

By Montgomery County Pct. 3 Constable

In October 2024, detectives from Constable Ryan Gable’s Criminal Investigation Division were alerted by the Pawtucket, Rhode Island Police Department about a case involving the financial exploitation of an elderly person. The perpetrator impersonated a bank employee over the phone, misleading the victim into believing they needed to transfer their funds to a new account due to a security breach of their current one. Bank records provided by the Pawtucket Police identified the suspect as Dylesiya Maqwon Jackson, a resident of Spring, Texas.

Following an extensive investigation that included examining the suspect’s social media and gathering surveillance footage from local banks, detectives were able to obtain arrest warrants for the charges of Exploitation of an Elderly Person and Theft from an Elderly Person, both categorized as third-degree felonies. Dylesiya Maqwon Jackson was arrested on March 31, 2025, and booked into the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Jail.
