Former assistant manager charged with stealing nearly $20,000 from New Berlin bank

A former employee of a TCF National Bank branch in New Berlin has been charged with stealing nearly $20,000 from the bank.

Antonio L. Green, 28, faces one count of theft of more than $10,000 in a business setting. Prosecutors say he stole $18,579 from the bank branch located in a Pick 'N Save, over the course of four months. 

If convicted, Green faces up to 10 years in prison.

According to the criminal complaint:

In March, an internal investigator for TCF National Bank reported an embezzlement by a former employee to New Berlin police. The investigator said Green had used the bank's systems to credit his own TCF checking account and those of three customers in fee/reversal credit from Oct. 18 of last year to Feb. 15.

The branch was closed by the corporate bank on Feb. 16.

Green, a former assistant manager, violated bank policy by conducting transactions on his own account and circumventing the bank's controls, the investigator said. In addition, one of the other three accounts Green credited belonged to his girlfriend.

Green told police he had since moved to Virginia, but officers confirmed he is now working in New York. Green denied making any fee/reversal transactions on his own account.

An officer told Green that he would likely be charged for an offense calling for extradition to Wisconsin.  Green said he found that "excessive" and added that he did not intend to come back to Wisconsin.
