Guthrie police arrest woman on forgery charge

Guthrie police arrested a Springfield, Tennessee woman Tuesday afternoon on a felony forgery charge.

Chief Dean Blumel was called to the Elkton Bank & Trust, where 27-year old Jennifer Braswell was attempting to cash a check that a police report says had clearly been altered from $22.21 to $2,200.21.

The check had been stolen out of a mailbox in Robertson County, Tennessee, according to police.

Braswell has previously attempted to cash another altered and stolen check and the alleged incidents were captured on video surveillance.

She’s charged with attempted second-degree forgery and driving on a suspended license.

Additional charges could be pending.
