A homeless Lansford man faces theft, criminal conspiracy and bad check charges after withdrawing money from his bank account and sending the funds to another account.

Donnay Alston, 22, who is listed as homeless, was arraigned on the charges last week, and jailed in the Carbon County prison in lieu of $20,000 bail.

According to court papers, Alston made two withdrawals of $500 from his account at Community Bank in Lansford, and the account only had change in it.

The money was sent to a woman’s account via Bill Pay and both transactions caused an overdraft fee of $36, court papers said.

On Oct. 16, a check in the amount of $15,000 was deposited into Alston’s account via an ATM in Hazleton, court papers said. Alston came to the Lansford bank branch and withdrew $6,200 in cash, court papers said.

Between Oct. 10 and 13, multiple withdrawals were sent to the same woman via Bill Pay, Zelle and Cash app, court papers said. More than $350 was spent in debit card purchases, court papers said.

The check came back as fraudulent, leaving Alston’s bank account with a $15,999.43 deficit, court papers said. Police were unable to contact the woman to whom the money was sent.
