Audubon, Minnesota – A woman is facing felony check forgery charges after allegedly cashing stolen checks at Bremer Bank in Detroit Lakes.
According to court documents, on February 10th, a victim reported that he had ordered new checks but never received them. However, three of those missing checks were fraudulently cashed at Bremer Bank, totaling $1,275. The checks were signed and deposited by a woman named Tina Marie Keene, a person the victim did not know.
Later that same day, Bremer Bank contacted law enforcement when Keene was spotted in the bank’s drive-thru, attempting to cash another check for $475. Authorities quickly responded, and Keene was arrested on-site.
During questioning, Keene told law enforcement that she had received the checks from two individuals who were not the rightful owner. She also admitted that she was paid for cashing them.
The case remains under investigation, and the legal process will determine the final outcome.
