LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - A Michigan man is accused of defrauding UK Federal Credit Union out of more than $26,000.

According to police, Anthony Johnson and a partner carried out the scheme in August 2024 by using fake IDs with real members’ information to request cashier’s checks.

Investigators say Johnson later used his real Michigan ID to cash those checks, totaling $17,000.

The criminal complaint says the credit union ultimately lost more than $26,000 after the fraudulently-obtained funds were withdrawn and cashed.

Police identified Johnson using surveillance photos, ID scans, and check records.

He was booked into the Fayette County Detention Center on Tuesday.
