GWINNETT COUNTY, GA — A woman has been arrested after scamming a bank out of $2,500 after tips from the public, according to the police.

Brenda Scullark, 55, of Bronx, NY, is currently incarcerated at the Gwinnett County Detention Center, after police charged her with financial identity fraud

On Tuesday, July 17, a Scullark visited the Sun Trust bank at 3590 Club Drive in unincorporated Lawrenceville.
