Steve Warden was sentenced to 33 months in prison and ordered to pay $888,471 in restitution after previously pleading guilty to bank fraud, Steven M. Dettelbach, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, announced today.
Warden, 35, of Brunswick, Ohio, pleaded guilty in January. He will serve the federal sentence after completing a sentence in state prison for an unrelated crime.
His wife, Rebecca Warden, a former teller at the National City Bank branch in Strongsville, is currently serving 16 months in prison.
Rebecca Warden removed cash from her drawer at the National City branch in Strongsville and gave it to her husband, Steve Warden, who would come into the bank and pretend to conduct legitimate banking transactions. This took place from on or about 2006 through March 2010, according to court documents.
During this time period, Rebecca Warden also removed cash to issue official bank checks and money orders payable to businesses to which Steve Warden owed money.
