In one case, Jackson is accused of purchasing $1,172 worth of sunglasses from Trendy Sunglasses in Manhattan Beach on June 1 using a prepaid Visa card with a zero balance, according to the Manhattan Beach Police Department.

When the card was declined, Dorsey then allegedly called the store pretending to be Visa and gave a false authorization code to convince the clerk to authorize the sale.

Manhattan Beach police arrested Jackson and Dorsey on June 5 after searching Jackson's residence in Lakewood.

Jackson and Dorsey appear to be wearing makeup in their booking photos.
