A Rome couple recently found out the $42,872.57 check they’d been given for their 2014 Dodge Ram wasn’t any good because the account had been closed.

According to Floyd County police records, a Rome woman told Floyd County Police that she, her husband and her son went to a Loves truck stop in Steele, Alabama on Sept. 28 to meet the person who wanted to buy the truck.

She called the bank to make sure the check was good, and the bank verified, it but when she went to cash the check the account had already been closed.

The person who gave them the check is being accused of felony theft by deception.
