HOMER, N.Y. — New York State Police in Homer say this week they arrested a Moravia man for presenting forged checks in exchange for cash.
Christian A. Reynolds, age 22, was charged with two counts of 1st degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, a felony.
State troopers say they received a complaint in March, alleging that Reynolds gave a person checks to deposit. The victim then gave Reynolds the cash for the check amounts. The victim told troopers that the bank where the checks were cashed, advised him or her that the checks were not valid. The bank told the victim that he/she would be ordered to repay the bank.
After an investigation, troopers arrested Reynolds. He appeared with his attorney at the Homer State Police barracks on Monday, Oct. 7, where he was processed. Reynolds was arraigned in the town of Cortlandville court, where he was released on his own recognizance and ordered to reappear on Nov. 18.
