GP Police Arrested Woman for Trying Cash Stolen Check at Downtown Bank
Grants Pass Police arrested a woman for attempting to cash a stolen check at a downtown bank earlier this week.
According to the Police Department, officers responded to a report of fraud at US Bank on SW 6th Street late Monday morning.
Police said a bank manager called 9-1-1 to report a female subject later identified as "Holly Long" tried cashing a check that belonged to a man who had reported his checks stolen from the 1400-block of Fruitdale Drive. The victim told the bank his checks were stolen out of his mailbox and there have been ongoing issues with theft from mailboxes in his neighborhood.
The victim was alerted by the bank, stated he did not know Long and that she did not have permission to cash the $650 check. She was contacted at the SE J Street campground, admitted to the crime and said she got the check from an unidentified man.
Long was charged with Felony Identity Theft, but she was not lodged in jail. She was cited to appear in court and then released.
