Based on probable cause statements issued by Seligman Police Chief, Kevin Phillips, and Detective Danny Boyd of the Cassville Police Department, three individuals have been taken into custody in the Barry County Jail for allegedly attempting to commit fraud with a credit card.
According to Phillips, on June 9 at 1:12 p.m., a 35-year-old female, Chantea Tamika Terrell, entered People’s Bank of Seligman, asking to withdraw a $3,000 cash advance from her credit card. The name on both her credit card and the Nevada I.D. she presented bore the name Lisa Myers.
According to the statement, when Terrell entered the bank, she purportedly made contact on the telephone with someone from her own bank. She then handed her telephone to the People’s Bank teller so they could confirm the validity of the transaction.
While Terrell was inside the bank, according to the report, 34-year-old Darius Jamonte Webb and 30-year-old Alex Laron Massie, both males, remained in the car.
According to Cassville Detective Danny Boyd’s statement, Terrell, also using the name Lisa Myers, entered Freedom Bank in Cassville at 4:27 p.m. on June 9, requesting a $5,000 advance on her credit card. Boyd reports that Terrell also claimed to be on the phone with her credit card company while visiting Freedom Bank, then handed her phone over to the teller. The teller then completed the requested transaction.
On the morning of June 10, according to Boyd’s statement, Freedom Bank in Cassville was notified by two of their other branches that Terrell had entered their facilities, requesting to make the same type of cash advance transactions.
Cassville Freedom Bank officials then realized that both the credit card and I.D. were fraudulent.
According to Boyd’s report, a final attempt to withdraw cash was allegedly made from Security Bank’s Cassville location at 11:30 a.m. The transaction was declined.
A short time later, according to Boyd’s report, he located Terrell in the parking lot of the Cassville Walmart, where she indicated that Webb and Massie were inside the store. He found the two inside the store, and all three subjects were taken into custody for questioning. They were later booked into the Barry County Jail, where they are being held with a bond of $40,000 each. They are charged with forgery and fraudulent use of a credit/debit device.
