On January 18, 2026, the Grant County Sheriff’s Office in Washington state arrested 36-year-old Jamaican national Danian Omar McDonald for facilitating a PCH scam, where an 87-year-old victim was promised luxury cars, real estate and other items as long as they send over $100,000 through cash exchanges, money transfers and the purchasing of gift cards.
McDonald’s arrest came after he had flown into the SeaTac Airport from Jamaica on January 16th and hired a ride-share to drive him to an intersection where the victim was asked to hand him $64,000 in cash. He is currently being held at the Grant County Jail on charges of first-degree theft from a vulnerable adult and first-degree possession of stolen property.
