KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) – A Knoxville man was arrested after the Knox County Sheriff’s Office used an AI tool to identify him as a suspect in a bank fraud case.
According to court records, officers went to a bank on Oak Ridge Highway on May 5 after Jasmine Quiggle, 28, of Knoxville, attempted to cash a fake check for $6,241.14 in her name.
Officers say she was at the bank when she left her 5-year-old child in the car, woke up while she was inside the bank, and was found wandering around in the parking lot less than 8 meters away from traffic.
Quiggle admitted to leaving the child in the car, but she also told officers that she and the child “were kidnapped because they couldn’t complete a fraudulent transaction,” according to court records. However, she later admitted that they were not kidnapped and that she had left the child in the car.
As a result, Quiggle was charged with forgery, theft, false reporting, and child neglect.
According to court records, two co-conspirators had left the bank when officers arrived on the scene. The sheriff’s office then used an AI facial recognition tool called Clearview AI to identify them as Dexvon Johnson of Knoxville and Troy Martin of Charlotte, North Carolina.
Quiggle was able to identify Johnson and Martin as suspects, and both were charged with theft and forgery.
