A man used a fraudulent New York driver’s license to try to open an account at a Palmer Township bank, police say.
William Otto Tolbert, 59, of Dunkirk, New York, allegedly tried to open the account at 5:19 p.m. Thursday at TD Bank on Park Avenue, according to a news release from Palmer Township police.
Tolbert was sent to county prison in lieu of $10,000 bail. He could not be reached for comment and it’s unclear whether he has retained an attorney.
Tolbert is charged with identity theft and possession of an instrument of crime.
