PADUCAH — Four out-of-state residents were arrested on identity theft and bank fraud charges in Paducah after attempting to withdraw large sums from accounts that were not theirs.
Paducah Police responded Tuesday to a bank on the 2900 block of Broadway after a woman, later identified as 32-year-old Ireaun A. Myles of Dallas, Texas, tried to withdraw $30,000 using another person’s account. Myles was found in possession of a fraudulent Alabama driver’s license bearing the account holder’s name.
While officers were on scene, they noticed a vehicle circling the parking lot. Attempts to locate the car failed, but the information was entered into the Flock safety camera system. Detectives later determined that earlier in the day, Myles had tried to withdraw $9,400 from a different Paducah bank using another fake identity.
Using the Flock camera system, detectives tracked the vehicle to Charleston, Missouri. Charleston police arrested 25-year-old Juwon Steward of Yazoo City, Mississippi; 25-year-old Luntavious Bright of Memphis, Tennessee; and 24-year-old Amaya Young of Arlington, Texas, in connection with the Paducah incident.
Myles is being held in the McCracken County Jail, while Steward, Bright, and Young are lodged in the Mississippi County Detention Center in Charleston.
