ALKOL — After noticing several checks missing from her checkbook, a woman notified police that she believed she was the victim of fraudulent schemes.
Michael W. Grubbs, of 112 Sulphur Springs Road, Alkol, was arrested after allegedly writing a total of eight checks to himself for cash in different amounts totally $3,313.87, according to a criminal complaint filed at the Lincoln County Courthouse in Hamlin.
Grubbs, 58, was arrested by police on April 22, 2010, but the complaint stated the alleged crimes occurred between March 15 and March 18, 2010.
The victim told police she first thought she had placed an order for goods or services somewhere and just did not record the checks in her checkbook.

Grubbs was charged with fraudulent schemes, a felony, which says is a crime in which any person who willfully deprives another of any money, goods, property or services by mean of fraudulent pretenses, representations or promises.
