A sixty-year-old Norcross, Georgia man was arrested in Floyd County last week on charges that he fraudulently cashed checks in Floyd County almost a decade ago. 

Floyd County Police say that Deno Rene Lebrada cashed  a counterfeit check for $8,475.15 at the Sun Trust Bank on Shorter Avenue.  He allegedly wrote the check from Sweetwater Brewing Company to a “Kevin Riley”.  Labrada then presented an ID of “Riley” and cashed the fraudulent check.

That same day, Labrada went to the SunTrust branch on East 2^nd Avenue and cashed another fraudulent check from Sweetwater Brewing for $9,989.60.  This time, however, the check was made to “Thomas Palding”.   Labrada again presented a fake Id with “Palding’s” identity as his own.

Labrada is charged with two counts felony theft by deception and two counts 3^rd degree forgery for the fraudulent checks in Floyd County in 2014.

Over the past several years, Labrada has been charged with cashing fraudulent checks in other jurisdictions, including Polk County and in Indiana.
