United States Attorney Joe Kelly announced today that on Sept. 14, 2018, United States District Court Judge Robert F. Rossiter, Jr., sentenced Sherman Clemons, age 36, of Oakland, California, for his conviction for Credit Union Fraud. Clemons was sentenced to twenty-four months’ imprisonment, a five-year term of supervised release, and ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $33,000.
Clemons and others unjustly enriched themselves by obtaining cash advances from various financial institutions in Nebraska and Kansas through the use of insufficiently funded Visa prepaid debit cards and counterfeit identification documents. As a result of the defendant’s fraudulent scheme, various financial institutions, including Centris Credit Union in Bellevue, Nebraska, suffered losses of approximately $33,000.
This case was investigated by Bellevue Police Department.
