A Salina woman is taken into custody after attempting to cash a counterfeit check at a Salina business.

Salina Police Captain Mike Sweeney tells The Salina Post that 36-year-old Shannon Guebara was arrested after attempting to cash the check at Quik Cash, 2146 Planet Ave., just before 1 p.m. Friday afternoon. The check, which was in the amount of $869.42, was purported to be a payroll check from Brian Hamilton Roofing based in Topeka.

Sweeney said police were called after an employee at Quik Cash was notified by the bank listed on the check that the account was non-existent.

A search of Guebara’s vehicle revealed additional checks from the same business and well as other counterfeit checks. Officers also found drugs in the woman’s purse.

Guebara was booked into the Saline County Jail on requested charges that included forgery for the counterfeit check that she attempted to cash, as well as six additional counts of forgery for the checks found in her vehicle and three counts of possession of narcotics, three counts of possession of a depressant and possession of drug paraphernalia. Guebara also faces charges of making false information and theft by deception.
