32-year-old Kendrick Fugett was caught trying to use a counterfeit driver’s license at the Nashville First Horizon Bank on July 10th. Fugett attempted to open a bank account for Syberus LLC under Richard Bell. On July 11th, Airport officers, airport police investigators, and Task Force Officers with the US Secret Service Nashville Cyber Fraud Task Force stopped Fugett and his partner as they tried to fly back to Dallas, Texas. Both were taken into custody for identity theft and forgery. During an arrest search, law enforcement discovered numerous fraudulent IDs, credit cards issued to the name on the counterfeit IDs, and financial documents indicating new bank accounts with the IDs. They also had paperwork involving Syberus LLC, which was presented at the bank, and a large amount of money. The money was from a withdrawal from a financial institution, which was made with one of the fraudulent IDs.

All the evidence of fraud was seized, and they were transported to booking on July 12th.
