Woman Accused Of Stealing From Bank, Passing Bad Checks

A Mentor woman is accused of using bad checks to steal $4,388 from Huntington Bank.

From Oct. 31 to Nov. 7 last year, Jennifer Evans is suspected of cashing a trio of bad checks and then immediately withdrawing the money from the bank before the fraudulent deposits could be discovered, Mentor Police Lt. Dan Molnar said.

Mentor Police arrested Evans, 37, on a warrant Sunday and charged her with a felony count of theft and passing bad checks.

Officers found a glass smoking pipe on Evans when they arrested her, so they also charged her with possession of drug paraphernalia, Molnar said.

Mentor Municipal Court Judge John Trebets arraigned Evans Monday morning. He set her bond at $20,000, which was not posted.

Evans' next court date is scheduled for May 21.
