A Jennings woman accused of falsely obtaining over $20,000 in cash advances from a local bank was arrested in Caddo Parish Wednesday.
Malaika Branch, 31, was arrested and charged with bank fraud.
Branch worked with an unnamed partner who has already been released from a Caddo Parish jail on bond, Jennings Police Department Interim Chief Danny Semmes said.
Branch and her partner allegedly went to a bank in Jennings on Jan. 18, 2017. While there they attempted to make two cash advances on a HSBC credit card, one for $7,500 and another for $8,247, Semmes said.
