MARYSVILLE — A Marysville woman is at risk of a felony charge after an area bank mistakenly deposited $25,000 into her account and she allegedly commenced spending the cash.
A bank error in early April led to the money being put into the woman’s account, according to a Marysville police report. When contacted by the bank, the woman, 26, reportedly acknowledged the deposit. She also allegedly said the money was gone.
Bank employees prepared statements for police. They provided documentation detailing how the woman had begun spending and withdrawing the money after the mistaken deposit.
The woman reportedly agreed to meet with police after work last week but didn’t show up for the appointment. Without her knowledge, officers were nearby and they moved in to make the arrest.
After being advised of her rights, the woman allegedly told officers she knew the $25,000 deposit had been made in error and that the money had been spent by herself and her boyfriend to feed a drug habit.
The woman was booked into jail for investigation of first-degree theft from a financial institution.
