A man has been arrested in Yorktown for attempting to cash a check using a fraudulent Connecticut driver’s license. The suspect, identified as Franceley Millien, was also found to have withdrawn $8,000 from another victim’s account using fraudulent identification. Millien has been charged with several felonies, including identity theft and forgery. He is currently in custody and will appear in court on August 15. Ben Crnic reported

The man was apprehended after an incident on August 9th, when the Yorktown Police received a report about a man attempting to cash a check at the Chase Bank using a Connecticut driver’s license. The bank teller recognized the man from a previous transaction on August 5th, but this time he was using a different name, which raised suspicions. Upon investigation, it was discovered that the man possessed a fraudulent Connecticut driver’s license and was trying to withdraw money in someone else’s name. Further investigation revealed that the suspect, identified as Franceley Millien, had withdrawn $8,000 from another victim’s account during the previous transaction using fraudulent identification.

Millien was then arrested and charged with several felonies, including first-degree identity theft, second-degree possession of forged instrument, second-degree forgery, third-degree grand larceny, and third-degree attempted grand larceny. He was remanded to Westchester County Jail and is scheduled to appear in Yorktown Justice Court on August 15th.
