Sheriff Warns Jones County Stores Against Losses To Check Artists
Sheriff Lewis Dreibelbis warns Jones County merchants to watch for forged checks after two Monticello stores report cash losses totaling 78 dollars on February 10. The thief, described as a 50 year old man with red face sandy hair blue eyes about 200 pounds and 5 feet 10 inches wore a tan leather jacket and claimed to be a truck driver. He used forged checks made out to Art Johnson and signed John L Finley to buy groceries and lumber at National Tea and Great Plains Supply Co. The incidents suggest a broader scam with the suspect visiting Hopkinton for blank checks and adopting alias names before fleeing.
