37-year-old Nana Wilson and Tamara Veasley were caught committing fraud on May 20th. The victim of the incident, Degarett Newson, met with Wilson and Veasley in a bar on Broadway. Newson then returned with them to their Towneplace Suites Hotel. Once they got to the hotel, Newson had to step away to do something. While he was gone, Wilson and Veasley took his phone from him and left. When Newson returned, he noticed the women and his phone were gone. Newson then noticed that one of the women had left their phone. Newson called his phone, and one of the women answered. They came back and exchanged their phones, then left. Once the women were gone, Newson noticed that his phone’s password had been changed. The following day, Newson noticed a fraudulent Apple Cash payment of $1,313 and a Cash App transaction of $975 were completed while the women had his phone. Cash App provided law enforcement with Wilson’s information, including her name, date of birth, social security, and phone number as the account holder of the fraudulent transaction. Apple provided law enforcement with Tamara Veasley’s information, including her name, state of birth, social security number, and phone number for that payment. Surveillance footage from the hotel was reviewed, and investigators were able to identify Wilson and Veasley. On June 14th, investigators made contact with Wilson and Veasley during an unrelated incident for a similar offense. During a search of their vehicle, investigators found multiple articles of clothing that the women were seen wearing on camera during the incident. Wilson was later taken into custody for theft and two counts of fraud.
