Three Brooklyn men were charged with identity theft after police caught them trying to use fraudulently manufactured credit cards at a Chase Bank branch Wednesday, police said.

Police said that Travis Dickson, 21, Terrell Clarkson, 20, and Khalid Brown, 20, tried using the cards several times to withdraw cash at the bank Wednesday morning before 9 a.m., said Detective Lt. James Bakelaar. They found the men at the bank after receiving a report of suspicious activity, police said.

Dickson, Clarkson, and Brown were each charged with fraudulent use of credit cards, fraudulently obtaining a credit card, and identity theft, the lieutenant said. Clarkson was also charged with providing false information to a police officer.

The men were remanded to the Bergen County Jail on $25,000 bail each, Bakelaar said.

A South Dakota man is accused of sexually abusing two girls while he was living at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota.

KMOT-TV reports (http://bit.ly/1S1T5Rc ) that 39-year-old Thad Richard, of Manderson, South Dakota, allegedly abused the girls between 2007 and 2009 at a residence on base. He is accused of having sex with one of the children and fondling the other.

Authorities say the girls are from South Dakota.

Court documents do not list an attorney for Richard, and a home telephone listing for him could not be found. He could enter pleas to three counts of felony gross sexual imposition at an April 21 court hearing. He could face life in prison without parole if convicted.

The suspect in the murder of a Lexington teen has had his case waived to a grand jury.

Marquess Smith was taken into custody by Lexington Police earlier this month. He was wanted in connection with the death of 18-year-old Caleb Hallett after what police are calling a robbery gone wrong.

Police say two men wearing masks fired shots hitting two people. Hallett didn’t survive.

A suspect who was a juvenile at the time of the incident was also arrested at the same time as Smith. He is identified as Marique Quintay Sturgis. He turned 18 at the end of February. Sturgis is accused of shooting the surviving victim. He also appeared in court Thursday on an unrelated trafficking case.

Another suspect in the case, Kenyon Hipps, committed suicide after being stopped by police in Ohio.  Two other juveniles were also arrested in connection to the case.

Smith is charged with murder, first degree assault and two counts of first degree robbery. He pleaded not guilty to all of the charges in this case and not guilty to giving a false name in a separate case. The grand jury has 60 days to indict Smith. Smith is due back in court next Thursday for a misdemeanor charge.

Neither Smith nor Sturgis have been granted bond.

For four years, Mylinh N. Fetterman issued insurance policies under clients’ names without their knowledge and took money from their bank accounts.

As a result, Fetterman, 40, received commissions that she hadn’t earned and the clients paid for policies they didn’t want.

Ada County District Judge Steven Hippler sentenced Fetterman on Tuesday to one to six years in prison. The judge also ordered her to pay $31,090 in restitution to her former employer, Primerica Insurance.

Fetterman pleaded guilty in January to one count of insurance fraud. Three other counts were dismissed in exchange for her guilty plea.

Authorities became aware of the theft after Primerica conducted its own investigation and notified the Idaho Department of Insurance. The company fired Fetterman following its investigation.

The case was prosecuted by deputy attorneys general from the Insurance Crimes Unit.

Fetterman pleaded guilty last month in a second case, where she was charged with grand theft. She is scheduled to be sentenced in that case on March 25.

Since 2014, three default judgements totaling $3,069 have been entered against Fetterman in cases brought by loan companies.

A 37-year-old Macon man was sentenced to 10 years Wednesday — seven of them in prison — after he pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual battery on a minor.

Leroy Anthony Holmes II, of Columbus Drive, was indicted last year on rape and aggravated child molestation charges, according to Bibb County Superior Court records.

Prosecutor Nancy Scott Malcor said a 15-year-old girl reported in 2013 that Holmes had forced her to have sex and molested her for years, dating back to when she was about 7 years old.

The girl alleged that Holmes threatened to kill her and her family if she reported the sex acts, Malcor said.

Due to the delay in reporting the allegations, prosecutors had no physical evidence to present to jurors, spurring the offer for Holmes to plead guilty to the lesser felony charge.

Had the case gone to trial, prosecutors would have presented evidence that Holmes also molested a then-12-year-old boy when Holmes was 14, Malcor said.

Holmes’ attorney said she would have presented evidence disputing the allegation.

Holmes was sentenced as a first offender, meaning if he successfully completes his sentence, he won’t have a felony criminal record. If he violates terms of his sex offender probation or otherwise gets in trouble before he completes his sentence, he could be re-sentenced to additional time in prison.

Holmes has been held at the Bibb County jail since his Oct. 4, 2013, arrest.
