The grand jury indicted Tracey R. Pearson on Wednesday on 15 counts of theft by a bank employee and four counts of aggravated identity theft.
The indictment alleges that Pearson, while employed by SunTrust between October 2006 and August 2008, stole money from customers. In October 2006, Pearson allegedly created a loan for someone without their knowledge, forged that person’s signature and used the $15,175 for herself.
In November 2006, Pearson allegedly made a loan for $25,175 for two people without their knowing.
In April 2007, Pearson allegedly took almost $35,000 from the account of a customer who had died.
The indictment alleges that Pearson took interest from a customer’s CD and didn’t apply it to the new certificate of deposit when it was renewed in September 2007. Pearson also withdrew thousands in cash from a customer’s account between February 2008 and June 2008, the indictment states.
Someone convicted of theft by a bank employee faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison, a $1 million fine or both for each count. A conviction of aggravated identity theft warrants a sentence of two years’ imprisonment for each offense
