Judge falls victim to check fraud


web posted May 15, 2008
JOHNSTON – Though everyday citizens often find themselves victims of criminal activity, this time one of those appointed to fulfill justice appears to have fallen into the victim category. Any lawyer will tell a client the last thing they want to do is make the judge mad, imagine what it must be like to tell your client that the person they allegedly stole from is a judge.

According to a police report from the Johnston Police Department that is what took place this week. Chief Magistrate Judge Davis Parkman lost his checkbook over the weekend and by Monday morning a white female allegedly cashed a check for $300 at his bank on Monday drafted against his account.

The described forgery case is currently under investigation by the Johnston Police Department and the identity of the woman is unknown at this time.

The lost checkbook was found by a passerby on Roland Avenue on Monday and it was discovered that two checks were missing, including the one cashed reports indicate. There were no indications that the second missing check was used.
