Issac Yeboah, 30, of Grand Prairie, Texas, is headed to federal prison for six months after pleading guilty to bank fraud and unlawful possession of another person’s identification. The Eastern District of Oklahoma U.S. Attorney’s Office confirmed the sentence, which includes three years of supervised release following incarceration.
The charges stem from an incident on March 18, 2016, in Muskogee, where Yeboah used an unauthorized credit card to fraudulently obtain funds from CreditONE, a federally insured financial institution. Prosecutors say he knowingly misrepresented himself to access money under the bank’s control, violating Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1344(2) and 2.
In addition to the bank fraud charge, Yeboah admitted to possessing a means of identification belonging to another person, with intent to commit fraud. The illegal act occurred during the same transaction and violated Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1028(a)(7) and 2. Authorities say the ID was used to facilitate the financial deception across state lines.
The case was built through a joint investigation by the Murray County Sheriff’s Office, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, and the United States Secret Service. Investigators traced the fraudulent card activity and linked Yeboah to the unauthorized use of personal identifying information, leading to federal charges.
U.S. District Judge Ronald A. White handed down the sentence during a hearing in Muskogee federal court. Yeboah will remain in custody until transferred to a designated federal prison to serve his nonparoleable six-month term.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Melody Nelson prosecuted the case for the federal government, underscoring federal crackdowns on financial fraud and identity theft. The Secret Service continues to warn the public about the rising tide of credit card fraud and synthetic identity schemes across the region.
