Rashaan Burton Sentenced For Role In Bank Scam

One of three people charged in an alleged bank scam in Casper will be spending time behind bars.

Forty-six year old Rashaan Burton was sentenced to 18-to-24 months in prison, after he pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit forgery.

Prosecutors say in September, Burton, along with 30-year-old Jessica Tanner and her 52-year-old mother Dannette, were arrested after the younger Tanner attempted to make a fraudulent cash advance on a credit card at the First interstate bank branch near Eastridge Mall.

The Tanners have pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from the incident and are awaiting trial.
