PNC Bank Teller Allegedly Steals $80,000 From Customer Accounts –m Now Tax Evasion and Embezzlement Charges Looming
A former employee at PNC Bank is facing decades behind bars for allegedly embezzling tens of thousands of dollars from customer accounts.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel says her office is charging 25-year-old Rhodesia Jones with one count of embezzlement-financial institutions and two counts of tax-related offenses, failure to file, false return or payment.
Jones, who worked at PNC Bank in Troy as a teller between June 2023 and May 2024, allegedly withdrew $80,000 from customer accounts without authorization. She is also accused of failing to report the funds on her Michigan income tax returns.
Says Nessel,
“Consumers must be able to trust those who handle their finances. My office will continue to hold accountable those who exploit that trust for personal gain.”
Jones was arraigned and given a $50,000 personal recognizance bond. She appeared before the 52-4 District Court on October 16th.
Last week, a former teller at Oriental Bank, Jahmaira Farrell, was arrested and is accused of using her position at the bank to drain St. Croix resident Lennox Cato’s account. The Virgin Islands Police Department said Farrell forged Cato’s signature to close a certificate of deposit and then issued a $100,000 manager’s check to an accomplice.
In May, 27-year-old Mountee Brown pleaded guilty to bank fraud and aggravated identity theft in connection with a scheme to steal $255,000 from customers at a Clinton, Maryland bank.
