Cleveland Woman Indicted for Bank Embezzlement

U.S. Attorney’s Office January 19, 2011
  • Northern District of Ohio (216) 622-3600

A federal grand jury returned a one-count indictment charging the crime of bank embezzlement against Latasha Stuart, age 24, of Cleveland, Ohio, Steven M. Dettelbach, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, announced today.

The indictment alleges that from on or about April 2010 to July 17, 2010, Latasha Stuart, while working as a bank teller at a Key Bank in Cleveland, Ohio, embezzled $28,426.20 from said bank.

If convicted, Stuart’s sentence will be determined by the court after review of factors unique to this case, including the defendant’s prior criminal record, if any, the defendant’s role in the offense and the characteristics of the violation. In all cases, the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum and in most cases it will be less than the maximum.

The indictment was presented to the grand jury by Assistant United States Attorney Blas E. Serrano. This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
