Check Fraud

On April 5, officers with the Dearborn Police Department were dispatched to the Bank of America branch at 13024 Michigan Ave. for a fraudulent check complaint.

According to police, a 52-year-old Detroit man attempted to cash a check for $992.77 from Allegiance Staffing in Fraser and was detained by the bank's assistant manager after the bank's computer flagged the account.

Upon questioning the suspect, he told police that he received the check from an acquaintance in exchange for cleaning offices in downtown Detroit.

The bank manager informed officers that the man appeared nervous and asked if he could leave the bank several times while employees attempted to verify the check.

After conducting a search on the Michigan Law Enforcement Information Network, officers arrested the man for fraud and three misdemeanor traffic warrants out of Dearborn.
