Arrests

A man walked into the RBC Bank on Oct. 14 and wanted to cash a check for $835. The check was from a company in Atlanta. The man had an Alabama ID card and unsigned Social Security card. The bank employees checked with the company and confirmed that the check was fraudulent. The bank employee called the police, who arrived and arrested the suspect. The suspect told the cops that he was approached by two men and woman earlier in the day at a homeless shelter on Peachtree Street in Atlanta. The men told the suspect that they had work for him. The suspect got into the car with the men and woman and rode around for a while. Later, one of the men gave the suspect a check and told him to go into the bank and cash the check. He told the suspect he would give him 10 percent of the cash. He told the suspect to abort the attempt to cash the check if it took over three minutes, meaning the bank was most likely verifying the check. (As you can see, the suspect didn’t listen very well.) The suspect was charged with forgery in the first degree.

On Oct. 15, an officer stopped at the site of a car that was on the side of the road on Glenridge Drive after being flagged down by the driver. The man said he was out of gas and requested a ride. The officer checked the man’s ID and found that he was wanted in Clayton County for the charge of battery/domestic violence. He was arrested.  FYI: When the cops give you a ride, they check your ID and do a pat-down for safety reasons. If you have warrants outstanding on you, they will come up on the GCIC (Georgia Crime Information Computer) check.
