The officer said more bad checks may show up later.

Watkins reportedly worked in the fuel center and would write the checks in there because it would be hard to detect due to the checks traveling all the way to Cincinnati, Ohio, the report said.

Watkins faces a charge of knowingly issuing worthless checks, a misdemeanor, although other charges may apply.
