Detectives from the Ulster County Sheriff's Office report the arrest on Wednesday, May 24, of Justice Amoh, of the Bronx, following an investigation involving wire fraud and bank scams, said Lt. Joseph Sciutto of the Ulster County Sheriff's Office.
Detectives from the Ulster County Sheriff's Office and special agents from the Department of Homeland Security responded to Trustco Bank in the Town of Ulster after receiving information Amoh was at the bank withdrawing cash from a fraudulent account linked to illegal wire fraud, money scams, and bank scams, Sciutto said.

He was arrested and charged with:
- Two counts of forgery
- Criminal possession of a forged instrument

The illegal cash was seized as the investigation remains open and ongoing.
