A Massachusetts woman is heading to federal prison after pulling $536,000 from bank accounts with fake driver\u2019s licenses.<\/p>\n

Rosemary Parks, 59, of Hopkinton, was sentenced on September 30th to 26 months, two years of supervised release and $4,000 in restitution, says<\/a> the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the District of Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

Parks pleaded guilty in May to bank fraud and aggravated identity theft. She was arrested in January of 2026.<\/p>\n

Between August and October of 2024, she impersonated at least eight customers at banks in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.<\/p>\n

She used fake driver\u2019s licenses that carried the customers\u2019 information with her own photo, and handed tellers withdrawal slips with their names and account numbers.<\/p>\n

She took the money in cashier\u2019s checks and one cash withdrawal.<\/p>\n

The case is tied to a wider investigation.<\/p>\n

In July of 2025, six men were charged in a related multi-million-dollar scheme aimed at banks in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.<\/p>\n

Phalentz Vernot, Victor Kolawole and Keith Wainaina have pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing.<\/p>\n

Co-defendant William Shaw also pleaded guilty on September 30th in a related scheme.<\/p>\n

He is set to be sentenced on January 6th, 2027.<\/p>\n
