On February 10, 2026, officers with the Memphis Police Department responded to a report of suspected fraudulent activity at a local bank. A bank manager contacted police after a woman attempted to cash a $75,000 cashier’s check from a victim’s account. Investigators learned this was the second consecutive day the suspect had visited the bank seeking funds.

Angela Hasan was taken into custody and charged with:

•    Financial Exploitation Against a Vulnerable Person

•    Criminal Attempt – Theft of Property ($60,000 to $250,000)

•    Impersonation of a Licensed Professional

This arrest serves as an important reminder to remain cautious when someone offers financial planning or assistance—especially when large sums of money or valuable assets are involved.
