FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A 49-year-old woman and a former Merrill Lynch financial advisor are accused of stealing millions from former Miami Dolphins Pro Bowl safety Reshad Jones over two years, according to police and court records obtained by Local 10 News.

Isaiah Williams, who managed Jones’ finances from January 2022 to March 2024, allegedly exploited his access to the athlete’s bank accounts, diverting approximately $1.58 million through 133 wire transfers. Authorities say the money was used to pay off two American Express credit cards and finance Williams’ lavish lifestyle, including first-class flights, luxury hotels with multiple women, nightclub expenses, strip club visits, car rentals, designer clothing, jewelry, legal fees, child support, and duty-free shopping in Mexico.

The criminal activity extended further with the involvement of Octavia Monique Graham, a 49-year-old woman from Dallas, Georgia, whom Jones said he had never met. Between October 2019 and September 2021, Graham allegedly laundered $1.03 million from Jones’ accounts through 16 handwritten checks totaling about $435,000 and 88 Zelle transfers amounting to approximately $184,000, both deposited into Williams’ Chase bank account.

In total, Jones reportedly lost about $2.58 million in this fraud scheme. The former Dolphins player has confirmed he is pursuing legal action.

Octavia Graham surrendered to authorities Monday and faces two counts of money laundering and one count of first-degree grand theft. She remains held at the Paul Rein Detention Facility on a $75,000 bond, awaiting a Nebbia hearing.

Isaiah Williams has not yet been arrested, according to court documents.
