Couple Arrested After Trying to Cash $15,000 Stolen IRS Check

A couple was arrested after trying to cash a stolen, counterfeit IRS check for $15,000 at a check cashing facility. They were detained when a clerk notified the police that the check was fraudulent. Despite their fake IDs being issued in 2018, they looked brand new.

I am sick of those people who believe they're entitled to people's property. My identity was stolen and the crook filed my income tax return. I went through hell going to social security, driver's license place, credit bureau, and police station. I. Don't feel sorry for them. Lock them away!

I wouldn’t have the nerve to try to cash a fake $15 check, much less a $15, 000 one… What the hell is wrong with people??? 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

They are not really boyfriend and girlfriend, they just meth around on the weekends!

When a cop ask you your name and the first thing out of your mouth is "Umm" you might as well give up.

“When was the last time you used meth?” Lie: 3 years ago; Truth: 20 minutes ago.

You know that you’re guilty when a police officer randomly put you on handcuffs and you don’t ask: why are you arresting me??? 😂

Biggest red flag- you have a job that pays well enough to net a $15K tax refund, but you are conducting business at a tweaker check cashing store in a strip mall

The more she says “to be honest with you” the more you know she’s lying.

[chuckcarmichael]

This wasn't her first rodeo. Her ability to stay calm knowing she's probably facing a prison term is crazy. Just say no to Meth

Hats off to the check cashing store clerk for recognizing that even though there were matching IDs to the check, something was wrong.

[C.L.]

Their hearts probably dropped to their stomach when that cop walked in.

"I'm I going to jail?" Dude! It's a $15k fraudulent check!!!

[Shoddiegirl]

No doubt would have blown all $15, 000 on drugs.

[stuartestrine]

Why would someone who gets a $15, 000 refund from the IRS need to go to a check cashing business ? These idiots are unbelievably stupid.

[davidtrautman]

Who cashes checks of this size at a check cashing business rather than depositing it at a bank? This is an immediate red flag.

[HeyTexasItsMe]

The store clerk was very professional and didn’t even let the police break their store rules. 😂 That’s a great employee

A Cricket, Vape and check cashing place in the same location is always my telltale sign to keep on driving....

[im_cart]

who the hell is getting $15000 irs checks to begin with?

[joejohnson]

Drug addiction make you do the stupidest things.
