A Miami woman arrested in a brazen bank fraud case is facing more charges after she entered a jail with $3,200 in cash stuffed inside her body, authorities said.

Moniquie Love Turnbull, 31, was arrested Monday on charges including scheme to defraud and fraudulent use of a credit or debit card without consent involving a victim 60 years or older, Martin County Sheriff’s Office officials said.

According to the sheriff’s office, Turnbull showed up at a senior citizen’s home, claimed she was from their bank and that their account had been compromised, and said she would handle the disposal of their bank card.

While investigating that call, deputies learned of another case in which Turnbull was identified as a possible suspect, officials said.

Turnbull was later taken into custody during a traffic stop.

But when she entered the jail, it was discovered she had $3,200 in cash “lodged in her vagina,” the sheriff’s office said.

“As part of her scam, Turnbull claimed she was from the bank but somehow failed to tell deputies she had a bank roll hidden in her private ATM,” the sheriff’s office said in a social media post. “It’s not clear who the money was taken from, but for now, it’s accounted for and sealed in evidence. Keep in mind at some point the cash will be back in public circulation.”

Turnbull faces additional charges including introduction of contraband into a corrections facility. She was being held on a $500,000 bond.
