Bank Fraud Lands St. John Man 17 Months in Prison
A St. John man has been sentenced to 17 months in prison for bank fraud after attempting to pass a forged check for $2,500, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced.
Davidson L. Alfred, 54, pleaded guilty to presenting a forged check to Banco Popular de Puerto Rico in the amount of $2,500, as well as presenting additional forged checks drawn on the same account totaling approximately $44,450.00.
During the sentencing hearing, it was determined that Alfred would serve his 17-month sentence consecutively to a 16-month sentence he received on January 29, 2015, for violating the conditions of his supervised release in another criminal case.
Alfred was remanded to the custody of the United States Marshals Service to begin serving his sentence. The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kim L. Chisholm.
This is not the first time Alfred has been in trouble with the law. His previous sentence for violating supervised release conditions was handed down in 2015.
As part of his guilty plea, Alfred admitted to presenting the forged checks, which ultimately led to his 17-month prison sentence.
Alfred’s case serves as a reminder that bank fraud is a serious crime with severe consequences.
