NATCHEZ — Three people have been arrested in charged with uttering forgery by the Natchez Police Department.
Cordelia Denise Ware, 31, 601 Old Washington Road, Regina Rosha Washington, 40, 52 Morgantown Road and Javarra Kentrell Jones, 19, 52 Morgantown Road were arrested Wednesday in connection with a Sept. 13 checkbook theft, NPD Chief Mike Mullins said.
Mullins said the checks were stolen from a car and then used for purchases at local convenient and department stores. Jones is also charged with three counts of identity theft for financial credit. Mullins said those charges were added because Jones used the victim’s information to secure credit accounts at several businesses.
Jones and Washington were released on $5,000 bond. Ware is being detained in the Natchez City Jail on $5,000 bond.
