Robert J. "Bob" Troester U.S. Attorney | U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Oklahoma
Timothy Abercrombie, 43, from Dover, Oklahoma, has been sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for bank fraud. The sentencing was announced by U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester.
Abercrombie worked as a vice president and loan officer at InterBank in Kingfisher, Oklahoma, from May 2019 through February 2024. During his employment, he used customers’ personal information to create fraudulent loan applications. After obtaining approval for these loans, Abercrombie deposited the funds into checking accounts he controlled that were opened under the customers’ names without their knowledge or consent. This scheme resulted in InterBank losing more than $800,000.
On April 1, 2025, Abercrombie was formally charged with bank fraud and pleaded guilty on May 15, 2025. He admitted to executing a scheme to defraud InterBank.
At the sentencing hearing held on March 2, 2026, U.S. District Judge Bernard M. Jones II imposed an 18-month federal prison sentence on Abercrombie. Following his release from prison, Abercrombie will be subject to three years of supervised release and must pay $874,893.39 in restitution. Judge Jones stated: "the seriousness of the offense, the need to provide just punishment, and the importance of deterring others."
The case was investigated by the FBI Oklahoma City Field Office and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Danielle London.
