FOUR NORTH CAROLINA MEN CHARGED IN FRAUDULENT CHECK-CASHING SCHEME INVOLVING NINE REGIONAL BANKS

Four men from North Carolina are charged in connection with a fraudulent check-cashing scheme that went to nine banks in the region, including seven in Westmoreland County.  The Trib reports that 29-year-old Jaylon Speight was arraigned Tuesday, while warrants are out for 53-year-old Ronald Daniels, Jr., 28-year-old Quante Smith and 35-year-old Shea Langley.  The four are charged with depositing fraudulent checks then making several withdraws, netting over $117,000.  Troopers worked with investigators in Ohio to identify the four suspects by comparing video surveillance from the banks to interviews of them after arrests for similar offenses there.  Speight is due back in court July 9th.
