Kissimmee, Fla., Mayor Jackie Espinosa was arrested Wednesday morning on charges of grand theft and organized fraud scheme, state officials said.
At an afternoon news conference, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said Espinosa voted in favor of the Kissimmee Business Boost 2.0 program and then requested $50,000 for herself and her family members. The program aimed to help small businesses recover from the coronavirus pandemic. Uthmeier said Espinosa submitted three applications on application opening day in September 2025.
