Grand Island Woman Charged with Bank Fraud

CASH_MONEYGRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say a 55-year-old Grand Island woman has been indicted on three counts of bank fraud.

Federal prosecutors said Thursday that Brenda Warta committed bank fraud from September 2005 through September 2006, resulting in a loss to Platte Valley State Bank and Trust Co. of nearly $432,000. Prosecutors also say Warta lied about collateral on loan and credit applications.

Warta didn’t immediately return a call Thursday from The Associated Press. Online court records don’t list the name of her attorney in the case.
