Florida Woman Charged With Stealing Car Claims ‘Demons Took It’ Gardinia McCullough

A Florida woman arrested for stealing a rental car claimed she was innocent and that “demons” took the vehicle. Jacksonville resident Gardinia McCullough, 23, was charged with taking an SUV from the city’s Ace Rent a Car but insisted that it wasn’t her at all. The vehicle was later found at the Travelodge Inn and Suites on Airport Road.

  1. McCullough was caught red-handed. Surveillance footage from Ace Rent a Car showed a woman in the same clothes as McCullough at the front desk of the business. A few minutes later, the white Toyota RAV4 was seen driving away. The company’s general manager said that the woman was mad that Ace was overbooked, which could have led her to steal the car.
  2. She was later found by the vehicle at the Travelodge Inn. News4Jax caught up with McCullough there and asked her about stealing the SUV, to which she replied, “Demons told me to do it. I didn’t take it, the demons took it.” She added, “I tried to rent it, but y’all didn’t want to rent me a car. Y’all talking about how y’all didn’t have any cars to rent so I stole y’all’s [expletive].”
  3. McCullough tried to hide from police. When they arrived on the scene, she went in a hotel room to try and avoid them. However, officers soon gained access to her room and cuffed her before taking her to jail, where she was held on $15,003 bond.
  4. She has a lengthy police background. Officers discovered she’d recently moved to Jacksonville from Miami and had previous arrests for trespassing, resisting arrest, giving a false ID to police, battery on a law enforcement officer, petty theft, and theft of a firearm. Now she can add car theft to the list!
