Shreveport, La. – Detectives with the Shreveport Police Department’s White Collar Crimes Unit have issued an arrest warrant for Tashiuntay Miles, 33, in connection with a bank fraud case involving over $60,000.
The investigation began on January 8, 2025, after Legacy National Bank alerted authorities to a fraudulent transaction. Detectives determined that on August 29, 2024, Miles deposited a check for $61,611.31 at a Carter Federal Credit Union ATM. Just a week later, on September 6, she withdrew $60,000 from the credit union’s Bert Kouns branch by obtaining cashier’s checks.
Investigators discovered the check was originally made payable to Mayekawa U.S.A., drawn on a Legacy National Bank account under the name of George Foods, LLC. The check was later returned as fraudulent, and authorities concluded that Miles was unauthorized to negotiate it. Upon further investigation, they learned the check had been manufactured, complete with Miles’ personal address and forged signature.
Surveillance footage was obtained, confirming Miles’ identity, which was cross-referenced with her photo ID from the Louisiana Fusion Center.
On February 5, 2025, an arrest warrant was issued for Miles on one count of bank fraud (LA R.S. 14:71.1).
