An Iowa City woman was taken into custody Wednesday after allegedly cashing a forged check and attempting to cash another.
Police say that 46-year-old Jeanny Gatlin of Southgate Avenue went to the South Clinton Street branch of MidWestOne Bank and allegedly cashed a forged check for $626.00. She then reportedly went to the other Clinton Street branch and had another fake check for $650 that staff recognized as forged. Police were called and were on scene to meet Gatlin.
The woman was taken into custody and charged with 3rd degree Theft and Forgery. If convicted on both counts, Gatlin could be sentenced to up to seven years in prison.
