MOBILE, AL. A bank conspiracy involving an attempt to defraud an Alabama bank out of more than $25 million dollars was prevented and two people have been arrested and now found guilty of their crimes in federal court.
Surprisingly, one of the suspects, identified as 45-year-old Kartarius Dewan Johnson, was already incarcerated at the Escambia County Detention Center in Brewton when he committed the crime.
At the time of the incident, Johnson was serving a 19-year and four-month sentence for previous fraud schemes, aggravated identity theft and providing false statements to a federal agent.
Federal authorities said that 39-year-old Danisha Anita Foster was her partner in the conspiracy.
During the trial, the jury reviewed phone messages and documents that detailed ways to defund several banks, the Court, and a car dealership out of two Rolls-Royces. There was also an elaborate scheme to get Johnson released from prison.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, the FBI and the United States Postal Inspection Service continue to investigate the case.
Both Johnson and Foster will be sentenced in November. They could each be given a maximum of 30 years, supervised release up to five years and potential fines.
