Jahmalier Grant Ordered to Repay $2,300 or Serve Six Months for Check Fraud
Cooks Hill resident Jahmalier Grant has been ordered to repay more than $4,000 or face six months in prison after admitting to a 2022 check fraud scheme.
The High Court sentenced Grant on Thursday on three counts of obtaining money by forged instruments. She must pay $2,300 in restitution by mid-December and a $2,000 fine by the end of January.
Prosecutors said Grant cashed three forged checks worth a total of $2,300 at a wholesale business in September 2022. The checks came from a stolen checkbook taken during a residential burglary. She first claimed a young man gave her the checks but later admitted she forged them herself.
Two checks were cashed on Sept. 7 on Lower Market Street and a third on Sept. 9, all bearing the same forged signature.
Grant, a mother of three, pleaded not guilty to six related forgery counts, which prosecutors withdrew. She pleaded guilty to the obtaining charges last month.
