Prison Phone Extortion Scheme
Description
A federal grand jury indicted a California inmate and a Vegas woman for orchestrating a high-stakes extortion scheme from behind bars and across state lines. D’Andre Davis, 39, while incarcerated, began contacting a Washington state victim on social media, escalating to demands for cash using smuggled phones. In May, his accomplice, Nicole Nowak, 31, joined in, threatening to leak private information to the victim’s circle unless payments continued. The victim paid over $35,000 before contacting the FBI. Nowak is held without bail due to perceived danger; both face up to five years and heavy fines if convicted — a chilling reminder that crime can thrive even from prison walls.
