Hopkinsville woman charged with felony theft by deception

A Hopkinsville woman is facing a felony theft charge after she allegedly cashed checks from a closed bank account in May.

According to the warrant served by Hopkinsville police, 20-year-old Jai’nyzia Daniel of Hopkinsville, along with another person, opened an account with First Financial Bank in early May and on four separate occasions, deposited checks of varying amounts into that account.

The checks were reportedly written from a closed account at a different bank and then withdrawn using an app.  Roughly $1,350 was withdrawn before the fraud department stopped further transactions.

Daniel is charged with felony theft by deception and fraudulent use of a credit card over $1,000, which is also a felony.
