A Mobile woman could face time behind bars after police say she forged thousands of dollars worth of stolen checks.
Court documents show that Heather Lucas took the checks from businessman Neil Henderson.
She was arrested in December on charges of forgery and theft of property.
About six thousand dollars of the alleged transactions were from written checks...another ten thousand dollars was supposedly spent online.
A personal assistant for Henderson spoke with News Five about how easy it was for something like this to happen.
"She really took just the routing number and the checking account number and that's all she needed. She didn't have his social. She didn't have his date of birth. She had no driver's license. No other information was required by these companies except for that checking number and routing number," said Henderson's personal assistant Kasey Hughes.
Heather Lucas is out of jail. She declined an interview with News Five.
She's due back in court next week.
