A woman already in the Floyd County Jail has been additionally charged for attempting to

cash a forged check back on August 13th.

According to an arrest warrant at the Floyd County Jail, 26 year old Krista Lynn Thorpe had a check that had been taken out of a woman’s mailbox without her permission.

The warrant states Thorpe altered the check, making it payable to “Elizabeth Brooks” in the amount of $1,500.  She then took it, and an identification card matching the name that she used on the check, to a bank on Tuner McCall Boulevard in Rome.

When Thorpe tried to cash the check, an employee at the bank noticed it looked odd and

refused to cash it.  Thorpe then left the bank, leaving behind both the check and the ID.
 
Thorpe is charged with fourth degree forgery and two counts of theft by receiving stolen property. 

She has been in jail since September 27th, when she was arrested and charged with failure to appear and two probation violations.
