Man makes habit of forging checks

RIVERDALE -- Quinton Jones, 37, was charged Wednesday with forging a check and resisting arrest.

Jones cashed a fake check at Cash America on Dec. 21 for $728.81, according to a probable cause statement filed in 2nd District Court.

He had several more bogus checks when police found and arrested him Tuesday, according to a probable cause affidavit.

Jones confessed to cashing the check in December but gave the arresting officers a false name, one that belonged to a real person, the affidavit reads.

He also faces separate forgery and theft charges in 3rd District Court. Jones has been convicted of forgery or attempted forgery nine times since 2002.
