SLIPPERY ROCK — A former First National Bank employee stands accused of diverting $57,532 from customers’ accounts into cash.

According to court records, 26-year-old Nicholas A. Corlett of Hubbard, Ohio, used other people’s identities to create a loan and open a savings account. He then diverted money from other people’s accounts into the account he created.

He was arraigned today on charges of forgery, identity theft and theft before District Judge Tim Shaffer.

The alleged activities took place between June 2010 and February, according to court records.

Bank officials contacted police June 1, after the alleged crimes were uncovered in what the criminal complaint describes as a “surprise audit” of the branch office at 100 S. Main St.
