An Iowa City woman faces a forgery charge after police say she tried to deposit forged checks while facing previous forgery charges.
46-year-old Latoya Coleman of South Governor Street was booked into the Johnson County Jail just before 10:00 Friday night. Iowa City Police allege that just after 12:30am on September 20th Coleman attempted to deposit checks into the drive-thru ATM at the GreenState Credit Union Iowa Avenue location. Coleman reportedly used an account that was not hers, and the checks were not issued to her nor did she have permission to use them.
Police say high-definition security video shows Coleman unsuccessfully trying to cover her face, and it captured her license plate number. At the time of the incident, Coleman was already facing forgery, theft and other charges for allegedly trying to cash forged checks at the two MidwestOne Bank locations on Clinton Street last June. Coleman pleaded guilty in that case on October 7th. Sentencing is set for January 23rd.
Coleman is charged with Forgery for the latest incident. If convicted, she faces a maximum of five years in prison.
