An Iowa City woman faces charges that she deposited fake checks into two different bank accounts, then fraudulently withdrew thousands of dollars.
26-year-old Tiara Hammons of Bittersweet Court was booked into the Johnson County Jail just before 6:15 Wednesday morning. Coralville Police say Hammons deposited fake checks totaling $8,000 and $8,600 into her account and a co-defendant’s account, respectively, using an ATM on 1st Street. She then reportedly withdrew $4,508.85 from her account before the bank discovered the checks were fictitious.
Hammons is charged with 1st Degree Theft and Forgery. If convicted on both charges, she faces a maximum of 15 years in prison.
