Storeowner reports suspect attempting to cash forged check
web posted August 31, 2010
TRENTON – A store clerk at Billy’s Superstore in
Trenton notified the owner when a man entered the store on Saturday
trying to cash a check similar to one that was cashed several weeks ago
that was returned with no account found. A rash of checks has now
turned up in Johnston and Trenton with over $8,000 being taken from the
store owners. Johnston Police have arrested one woman in connection to
the fake checks in their case.
Lesa Ann Coleman Betcher, 46, of Camellia Street N.E., Aiken, was
booked into custody on Friday and has been charged with criminal
conspiracy, two counts of forgery, and a seatbelt violation in connection to
the Johnston cases. Three
other suspects are still being sought by Johnston Police.
The clerk and the store owner recognized the man that cashed a $638.50
check that was found to be a forgery. When he entered to cash the
latest check on Saturday the clerk went to get the owner and the man
fled out of the store and left in a white Dodge Neon.
Video surveillance footage of the incident was turned over to Sheriff’s
Investigators.
