A bank teller in Tennessee has been arrested and charged with felonies after allegedly taking $60,000 from customer accounts.
Police say a First Bank employee used old withdrawal slips to make unauthorized withdrawals from two accounts, reports WREG.
The thefts allegedly ran from December of 2023 through February of 2024 at the branch on Poplar Avenue in Memphis.
A fraud investigator filed a complaint on June 20th of 2025 after finding seven instances. Memphis police arrested Demeries Coplin Brooks, 24, this week.
He faces theft of property, forgery, seven counts of criminal simulation and seven counts of fraudulent use of marks or logos. He is being held on a $25,000 bond.
First Bank is a regional bank with branches in Tennessee and nearby states.
Brooks previously worked at Regions Bank. Police said he took about $18,000 from a 96-year-old customer there. He entered a pretrial diversion deal. The Federal Reserve later barred him from working in banking.
