Woman Arrested After Refuse To Return $1.2 Million, Mistakenly Deposited Into Her Account

A woman has been charged with theft for refusing to return $1.2 million that was mistakenly deposited into her bank account.

The 33 -year -old woman was arrested in New Orleans, Louisiana on Wednesday on charges of theft worth more than $25,000, bank fraud, and illegal money transfers.

The woman instead spent the money to buy a new house and car rather than return it.

After her arrest, the woman was also fired from her job as a 911 dispatcher.

Police said a mistake on the part of the clerk caused financial services company Charles Schwab to put $1.2 million into the woman’s account in February.

The actual value of the money that should have been transferred into her account was only $82.56.

According to court documents, when the bank tried to get the money back, the request was denied because the money was not available.

Sheriff’s Office spokesman Captain Jason Rivarde said even though the money was put into his account, ‘it wasn’t his money.

“She has no legal claim to that money.

“Even if it was put in there by mistake. It was an accounting error,” he said.
