Surveillance footage captured former NFCU employee Steven Verrett depositing both checks, once with Davis providing the check.
The other check was deposited by Verrett who used innocent customers as cover while under video surveillance.
Money was withdrawn from Upshaw’s account through cashier’s checks, ATM withdrawals, and counter cash withdrawals.
