Ex-Hotel Clerk Accused of Stealing Thousands from Customer
Birmingham, AL – A former hotel clerk is facing serious charges after allegedly using a customer’s bankcard to make unauthorized purchases. TIFFIANY LASHAWN HALL, 40, of Birmingham, is accused of stealing over $3,000 from a customer’s Regions Bank account.
According to the indictment, HALL worked as a front desk clerk at a hotel on Pelham Parkway in Pelham in October 2013. On October 11, 2013, she obtained a Regions Bank card belonging to a hotel customer identified as P.T. Without authorization, HALL used the card for purchases at Walmart, Piggly Wiggly, and Beauty Masters. The multiple transactions totaled more than $3,000.
The indictment charges HALL with three wire fraud counts for separate bankcard purchases made at Walmart on Montclair Road in Birmingham. The indictment also charges HALL with aggravated identity theft for using the bankcard, a means of identification of P.T., in relation to the wire fraud.
The maximum penalty for wire fraud is 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine. The penalty for aggravated identity theft is a minimum of two years in prison, which must be served after completion of any other sentence imposed for an associated crime, and a maximum $250,000 fine.
U.S. Secret Service investigated the case, which Assistant U.S. Attorney Tamarra Matthews Johnson is prosecuting. An indictment includes only charges, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
HALL is also facing a longer sentence due to the fact that the criminal acts occurred while she was on supervised release after serving time on a 2007 conviction in federal court. The government will seek a longer sentence, of up to 10 years, if HALL is convicted.
