• Man Charged After Nearly $13,000 Allegedly Withdrawn From Victim's Bank Account (limitless-news.com) — A man accused in a multi-state bank fraud scheme was previously arrested in Edina and now faces identity theft charges tied to nearly $13,000 in allegedly unauthorized withdrawals from a Missouri victim's accounts. Investigators say he admitted taking part in an organized scheme after being transferred to Washington County Jail, where each felony count could bring up to 10 years in prison.
