October 13, 2011
Total Loss:
$60,000
A Villa Rica woman who formerly worked for a bank will make an initial court appearance Wednesday on charges that she siphoned money out of customer accounts and stole identities to make fraudulent loans.
Sherri Whitlock Hines, 40, was indicted last week in Carroll County Superior Court on five counts of theft by taking and seven counts of identity fraud.
Hines is a former employee of Community & Southern Bank, and she worked out of three branches in Douglas and Carroll counties, Villa Rica police said.
Police allege that Hines took more than $60,000 from client bank accounts, and the total taken could rise to more than $100,000, including fraudulent loans.
