Mobile police arrested a man they say was making counterfeit checks at his home. But there was nothing fake about the routing numbers on those checks.That's right. The checks may have been fake, but the money was being withdrawn from real accounts.
Police arrested Wiley Winn Jr. Thursday morning at his home on Iwo-Jima Drive. They found computer equipment, check printing equipment and blank checks in the house along with cocaine and marijuana.
According to police, Winn printed the fake checks and gave them to other people to cash in exchange for a cut of the money. Police say he's stolen $45,000 dollars since he started the scheme several months ago.
Police are now looking for the people who chased the checks for Winn. They're also trying to track down the owner of the accounts associated with the routing numbers on the fake checks.
Wynn is charged with forgery, theft by deception and possession of a controlled substance.

LMAO, I guess it’s not a new drug after all! It’s just marijuana. I thought it may be some new drug I needed to know about.
