Local Merchants Targeted by Check Flasher
Chief of Police Doran warned citizens to avoid cashing checks for strangers after two local merchants were duped by a man posing as Rox Cox using checks drawn on Dr Walter Cox. One bought a ring with a $25 check and received cash back. another bought a chair and sent to a relative. The dealer who sold the chair is out the money and the ring seller lost both ring and change. Police hold the bogus checks and a description, but the suspect may have left town.
