MONTICELLO, NY — Monticello police arrested a couple from Queens after they tried to get a cash advance at an ATM machine with a fraudulent credit card at Monticello Casino and Raceway.

The couple, Terrell Anthony Coleman, age 26, and Kiasia Veronica Durham, age 20, were known to employees of the facility because they had tried to obtain cash advances in the past.

When the ATM wouldn’t process the transaction, they attempted to have a cashier assist them who quickly determined that the credit card number they were using was stolen. Coleman and Durham were then recognized by security personnel, who notified Monticello Police.

The police investigation determined that Coleman and Durham had used stolen credit cards on at least two previous occasions at the same location to get cash advances using stolen credit card numbers.

When Coleman was searched by arresting officers, he was found to be in possession of 13 credit cards in his name, all with stolen credit card numbers. Coleman was also in possession of marijuana and hashish oil when he was arrested.

Coleman was charged with felonies for 13 counts of criminal possession of a forged instrument, 13 counts of identity theft and 13 counts of grand larceny. He was also charged with misdemeanor criminal possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of marijuana, a violation.

Durham was charged with felonies of two counts of criminal possession of a forged instrument, two counts of identity theft and two counts of grand larceny.

The arrests took place at 1:30 a.m. on December 23, and Durham and Coleman were both arraigned before acting Village of Monticello Justice Leo Glass.

Both were remanded to the Sullivan County Jail, with Durham‘s bail set at $10,000 and Coleman’s bail set at $50,000. Coleman is also currently on felony probation in Queens for a prior conviction of criminal possession of a weapon in the 3rd degree.

The Sullivan County District Attorney’s Office is assisting Monticello police in the ongoing investigation.
