A Minnesota man faces felony charges after authorities alleged he drained $12,760 from a Missouri victim's checking and savings accounts during consecutive visits to two U.S. Bank branches on June 11.
Dion Antonio Lowe, 55, of Minneapolis is accused of carrying out the thefts using what appeared to be the victim's photo ID and a forged signature, according to a report by Limitless News.
Surveillance footage recorded the suspect arriving at and departing from a St. Paul branch on Payne Avenue and a Woodbury location roughly 40 minutes apart, riding as a passenger in a white Tesla.
A crime analyst from Maple Grove identified the individual, which led to his transfer to the Washington County Jail on existing warrants from other cases.
During an August 27 interview, the suspect reportedly admitted to the withdrawals and acknowledged his involvement in a broader, multi-state organized scheme.
Prosecutors have filed additional felony identity theft counts against Lowe in Washington and Hennepin counties. These new charges connect to separate incidents in April and July, which included a failed attempt to withdraw $36,000.
Each count carries potential penalties of up to 10 years in prison alongside a $20,000 fine. The suspect remains presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
