Fraudulent $5,000 Check Leads To Joliet Police Arrest: English

JOLIET ? A 21-year-old Joliet woman was arrested this week by Joliet police on charges of deceptive practices.

According to Joliet police spokesman Dwayne English, the following events led to the arrest of Dajah Hollie:

On Wednesday, at 5:20 p.m., the officers responded to Joliet Bank and Trust at 2108 West Jefferson Street for a report of a possible fraudulent check.

The officers learned that Hollie was attempting to cash a check from a work from home job in an amount over $5,000. Bank personnel discovered discrepancies with the check, including conflicting names of the company from where the check allegedly originated, which differed from what Hollie reported to the bank.

Bank officials contacted the company listed on the check to verify Hollie?s employment, at which time the company denied her association and confirmed that the check was fraudulent. Hollie was unable to provide further details regarding her employment or the legitimacy of the check and she was then placed into custody without incident.
