JONESBORO, Ark. — A man faces a felony forgery charge after police said he tried to cash a check at a Jonesboro bank that had been altered from $286.98 to $4,286.98.
Dewinn Vick is charged with second-degree forgery, a Class C felony.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Jonesboro police responded around 3:17 p.m. June 24, 2025, to Cadence Bank at 2201 Fair Park Blvd.
Bank employees told officers that a man presented an Arkansas driver’s license identifying him as Vick and attempted to cash a $4,286.98 check payable to himself from Ditta Enterprises Inc.
The bank’s system flagged the check as fraudulent. Investigators said the check had originally been written to a local business for $286.98 before being altered.
Bank employees informed Vick that the check was fraudulent, and he left before officers arrived, according to the affidavit.
Detectives later reviewed the bank’s surveillance footage and identified Vick as the person who attempted to cash the check, police said.
On Aug. 25, 2026, detectives learned Vick was being held at the Craighead County Detention Center. A judge found probable cause for the forgery charge and set Vick’s bond at $35,000 cash or surety.
Vick was appointed a public defender. His next court appearance is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Oct. 26.
Second-degree forgery is punishable by three to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
