ST. GEORGE — A man who admittedly ran a treasury check fraud scheme that netted millions, including from banks in Utah, will be spending the next several years in federal prison for his crimes.

The defendant, 41-year-old Kyle Eugene Duncan-Carle, of Las Vegas, Nevada, appeared on one federal charge of bank fraud during a hearing held before District Judge Ann Marie McIff Allen on May 22.

The defendant was sentenced to serve 72 months in federal prison, followed by five years post-prison supervision, according to the judgment signed by the judge Thursday afternoon.

The case was filed in federal court following an investigation into allegations that Duncan-Carle obtained nearly $8 million in U.S. Treasury checks and deposited them at credit unions in Utah, as well as two other states.
