DAVIE COUNTY, N.C. — A Charlotte woman has been arrested in connection with a bank fraud scheme that allegedly resulted in the theft of over $23,000 from a victim’s account.
Authorities said that on Oct. 31, 2025, two individuals entered the Truist Bank at 150 Peachtree Lane in Bermuda Run. A man falsely claimed to be the account owner using a North Carolina driver’s license and a Duke Energy bill, then added a woman, 42-year-old Jillayna Demone Jacoway-Minor, to the account under the pretense that she was his niece.
Jacoway-Minor attempted to withdraw funds at the Bermuda Run branch, but a suspicious teller refused the transaction. Police said she later successfully withdrew money from three other Truist branches in Forsyth County, including locations in Clemmons, Lewisville, and Jonestown Road, before the account was closed. The total stolen funds exceeded $23,000.
Davie County detectives identified Jacoway-Minor and issued an arrest warrant for Attempting Obtaining Property by False Pretenses. She was arrested at her Charlotte residence by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, appeared before a magistrate, and was released on an unsecured bond.
The Davie County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division said the investigation is ongoing.
