A Hills woman has been arrested for a 2022 incident where she allegedly cashed a forged payroll check.
According to the arrest report, management from the Quality Inn in Coralville was made aware that multiple fraudulent payroll checks totaling nearly $17,600 had been withdrawn from their business account at Citizen States Bank.
Investigation determined that 49-year-old Brandi Dloughy was part of the scheme. On March 28th of that year, she allegedly deposited a forged $985 check from the Quality Inn/Pranam Corporation into her account via mobile deposit at Veridian Credit Union. Dloughy reportedly was never an employee with the company.
An arrest warrant was granted May 1st, and Dlouhy was taken into custody Saturday evening. She was charged with Forgery and 3rd degree Theft. If convicted on both counts, Dloughy could be sentenced to up to seven years in prison.
