A 55-year-old Bronx, New York, man faces criminal charges after police say he attempted to use another person’s driver’s license to make transactions at a bank in Shenandoah.
Shenandoah police have obtained an arrest warrant for Tony R. Bing after they received a report from First National Bank, 101 N. Main St., that he presented false ID and attempted to use that person’s bank account on Aug. 26.
Police said that a bulletin had been circulated to warn bank personnel about fraud, and the defendant was asked for a password, he turned around and left the bank.
Bank employees made a copy of the ID the defendant presented. Surveillance footage of Bing’s visit to the bank was circulated throughout the Shenandoah Police Department, other police agencies and banks, and he was shown in other business’s video footage walking south on Main Street, police said.
Through further investigation, police traced the suspect’s vehicle and identified the man as Bing. His exact address is unknown, and he is currently listed as a fugitive, police said.
Bing faces felony charges of forgery and identity theft, along with misdemeanors of access device fraud and theft, according to police.
Court records did not indicate he had been taken into custody as of Tuesday afternoon.
