Craig Stevens, a 34-year-old resident of Daytona Beach, has been sentenced to four years and six months in federal prison for conspiracy and aggravated identity theft. The sentence was handed down by U.S. District Judge Roy B. Dalton, Jr., who also ordered the forfeiture of $19,762.38, representing the proceeds Stevens obtained from the scheme. Stevens pleaded guilty on October 23, 2025.
U.S. Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe announced the sentencing.
According to court documents, Stevens worked as a personal care assistant for an elderly individual at an assisted living facility in Palm Coast. He acquired the victim’s personally identifiable information and shared it with his co-defendants, Jataiya Johnson and Aaron Harden. Between December 2019 and February 2020, the trio used this information to access bank accounts belonging to the victim and applied for credit cards and loans using the victim’s name. They subsequently used these financial resources to make fraudulent purchases and transactions.
Both Jataiya Johnson and Aaron Harden have entered guilty pleas for their involvement in the case and are awaiting sentencing.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted the investigation into this case. Assistant United States Attorney Diane S. Hu prosecuted it, while Assistant United States Attorney Nicole M. Andrejko is managing the forfeiture process.
