A California woman will spend nearly three years behind bars for defrauding a Rhode Island bank.
Nancy Sherman, 42, of Los Angeles pled guilty in federal court last September. She admitted to stealing more than $13,000 a bank account. Sherman said she traveled to Barrington, where she made the withdrawal from the Webster Bank branch in January 2011. She presented a fake Connecticut driver’s license with her photo, but her victim’s personal information.

The next month, Sherman tried to make another withdrawal from a Webster Bank in Pawtucket with another person’s stolen information. However, the teller recognized her from a fraud bulletin alert the bank issued, and called police.
A federal judge sentenced Sherman to 30 months in prison, with five years of supervised release. She was also ordered to pay back the money she stole
