The Winston-Salem Police Department arrested Jarvis Davis of The Bronx, New York, and accused him with illegally acquiring and transferring about $1 million from a Winston-Salem bank while impersonating an account holder.
The United States Marshals Service arrested Davis, 40, in New York on June 23. On July 9, he was extradited to Forsyth County and served his outstanding warrants at the Forsyth County Law Enforcement Detention Center.
On Jan. 24, Huntington National Bank notified the WSPD of various fraud incidences involving transactions that took place between Nov. 25, 2025, and Jan. 14 at the bank’s Winston-Salem branch at 751 W. Fourth St.
Bank officials said that a suspect entered the bank many times, acting as an account holder, and completed unlawful activities, resulting in a fraudulent withdrawal and transfer of almost $1 million in less than two months.
The case was assigned to detectives from the WSPD’s Criminal Investigations Division Financial Crimes Unit, who worked alongside the Forsyth County District Attorney’s Office throughout the investigation. On May 1, warrants were issued for Davis.
He has been charged with six charges of criminal identity theft and two counts of felony obtaining property by false pretense worth $100,000 or more.
A magistrate placed him bond at $3 million, secured.
