TBI Nabs Former Nashville Credit Union Manager in Fraud & Forgery Scheme

Prosecutors say the former credit union manager opened bogus loans and wrote bad checks.

NASHVILLE, TN — Special Agents from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation arrested an Old Hickory woman Monday, charged with using her former position as a bank manager to bolster her own bank account.

TBI agents began investigating Ashley R. Comer, 31, in May on the request of Davidson County District Attorney General Glenn Funk. The TBI alleges that Comer, while working as the interim manager of NGH Credit Union in North Nashville, took out loans in the name of family and friends and then transferred the money to herself. The agents also allege she wrote bad checks from her own bank account.

The Davidson County grand jury indicted Comer November 28 on one charge of forgery, one count of theft over $60,000 and eight counts of worthless checks. She was booked into the Davidson County Jail on a $100,000 bond
