Salina Police arrested four individuals Friday in connection with a fraudulent check case.
Captain Mike Sweeney said an investigation and search warrant led to the arrests of Bradley Holmes, 36, James Hay, 38, Carl Persinger, 29, and Chloe Dixson, 20.
Police were initially sent to the home of a north Salina woman on September 27th, who reported a box of her personal checks missing. Two of those checks were allegedly forged and passed by Holmes at Dillons, 1201 W. Crawford. One check in the amount of $396.63 was passed on September 17th and another in the amount of $390 was passed on September 19th.
Persinger allegedly attempted to cash a check in the amount of $267 at Capitol Federal Savings, 2550 S. 9th, on October 14th.
Sweeney said officers were then sent to the LoneStar Convenience Store, 100 N. Broadway, on October 27th, where Holmes had allegedly passed a fraudulent check in the amount of $45.83.
An investigation into these incidents led to the execution of a search warrant at the home of Hay and Dixson in the 600 block of Jaran on Friday.
Officers found 92 checks with various local business names printed on them as well as numerous sheets of paper that appeared to be blank checks that had not yet been printed.
Sweeney said Hay and Dixson were both arrested at the home. Holmes and Persinger were located and arrested a short time later after an investigation determined they were connected to the writing of the fraudulent checks.
According to Saline County arrest records, Hay was booked into jail on 184 counts of forgery. Dixson, who was found to be in possession of personal use methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia, was booked on requested charges of possession of a stimulant and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Holmes faces six counts of forgery, while Persinger was booked on requested charges of forgery and theft by deception as well as other charges stemming from an unrelated case.
