LIVINGSTON — A woman accused of stealing checks from a Livingston Parish hotel was arrested in Texas earlier this month and has since been extradited to Louisiana. 

Ebony Banks, 42, was arrested in Collin County, Texas, on Aug. 3. She was arrested on assault charges, as well as theft and insurance charges. 

Banks was wanted in Livingston Parish following a 2023 incident where checks were stolen from a hotel, forged and cashed.

On Tuesday, Banks was extradited to Livingston Parish and booked into the parish jail on bank fraud, burglary and other charges. She was booked on a $70,000 bond, jail records show.

WBRZ has asked deputies for more details about the alleged theft of the checks in 2023.
