SIOUX CITY, Iowa — Authorities arrested 34-year-old Brittani Dugas on March 13 in connection with a multi-bank fraud scheme dating back to September 2022.
Court documents allege that Dugas opened accounts at several banks, including Telco Triad Community Credit Union, Central Bank, and Security National Bank, using a fake business, Vanderbilt Home Health LLC.
On September 8–9, 2022, Dugas reportedly deposited and cashed fraudulent checks at multiple locations in Sioux City and Dakota Dunes. Authorities say she withdrew a total of approximately $15,990.59, with checks tied to the nonexistent business.
Charges against Dugas include six counts of forgery and three counts of second-degree theft.
After being taken into custody, Dugas was booked into the Woodbury County Jail on a $10,000 bond. Her preliminary hearing is scheduled for March 23 at 9 a.m.
