Woman Goes on the Run After Depositing $185,000 in Checks—Is She the Next Houdini? 🕵️‍♂️💰

by

In the grand and somewhat bewildering state of Louisiana, the local constabulary has found itself in a bit of a pickle, searching high and low for a woman who seems to have mastered the fine art of financial sleight of hand. Yes, you guessed it, she allegedly deposited a staggering amount of fraudulent checks into her account before vanishing like a particularly elusive sock in a washing machine. 🧦✨

Meet Tashiuntay Miles, the woman of the hour—or perhaps the woman of the year, depending on how you look at it. The Shreveport Police Department, bless their hearts, is on the hunt for her after she allegedly pulled off not one, but two bank fraud capers that would make even the most seasoned con artist raise an eyebrow. A total of $185,000 in checks, mind you! That’s enough to buy a small island or at least a very large inflatable pool. 🏝️💦

“According to the detectives, who are probably wishing they had taken up knitting instead, Miles is accused of depositing a fraudulent check for a whopping $70,000 into her personal account. And if that wasn’t enough, she also allegedly managed to slip another check worth $115,000 into the mix. Talk about a busy day at the bank!”

As a result of this rather impressive feat of financial gymnastics, Miles is now wanted on two counts of bank fraud. The detectives are actively working to locate her, which is a bit like trying to find a needle in a haystack, but they encourage anyone with information on her whereabouts to come forward. After all, it’s not every day you get to help catch a modern-day Robin Hood—minus the giving to the poor part, of course.

According to a previous press release (which is just a fancy way of saying “the police sent out a memo”), an arrest warrant for Miles was first issued back in February. This was after a weeks-long investigation revealed that she had deposited a fraudulent check worth over $60,000 on August 29th, 2024, at a Carter Federal Credit Union ATM. She then withdrew the cash about a week later, presumably to fund her next great adventure. 🏃‍♀️💨

Authorities discovered that Miles didn’t have the proper authorization for the check, which was also found to be manufactured with her personal address and signature. It’s almost as if she thought she was playing a game of Monopoly, but forgot that the bank doesn’t actually give you money for free. To confirm her identity, the police cross-referenced her photo ID and surveillance footage, which is a bit like trying to find out if a cat really did knock over that vase—there’s always a chance it was the dog. 🐶🐱
