The Summerville Police Department is investigating a reported forgery involving two canceled business checks totaling nearly $5,000 that were allegedly altered and deposited without authorization.
According to a report filed with the Summerville Police Department, Officer Vitality Labs responded to 170 Vitality Lane in Summerville, where Melissa Hamilton, an officer and representative of the company, reported discovering two checks bearing the business’s name that had been manufactured.
Hamilton provided police with copies of two canceled checks, numbered 5927 and 5928, totaling $2,459.75.
The checks appeared to contain Hamilton’s signature, but she told police the signature had not been authorized and had been falsely applied to the checks.
Hamilton also presented the original blank checks that had been recovered from the company’s checkbook, indicating the fraudulent checks had been created using the company’s banking information.
Hamilton advised police that the company’s bank had reimbursed the fraudulent withdrawals but required a police report documenting the incident.
The case remains under investigation by the Summerville Police Department.

Summerville Police responded to a complaint involving several loose dogs in a residential neighborhood after a woman reported that the animals had been running loose and chasing people.
According to a Summerville Police Department incident report, police were dispatched to 123 Woods Street on Friday, October 9, at approximately 10:37 PM, after receiving a complaint about Great Danes running loose in the neighborhood.
The complainant, identified as 54-year-old Carla Kelly, told police that the dogs had been scaring residents and chasing people. She said the dogs belonged to a neighbor at 127 Woods Street.
Kelly told police that her son had been forced to take cover inside a vehicle when the dogs came outside and began approaching him.
She also reported that the neighbor had constructed a fence around the property, but the dogs were still able to escape. According to Kelly, the fence was approximately four feet tall, and the Great Danes were tall enough to jump over it.
Police observed the fence and noted that it appeared to be approximately the same height as the dogs.
The officer was unable to speak with the dogs’ owner because she was reportedly out of town and was not expected to return until Monday evening.
Police documented the complaint in an incident report. No citations or arrests were reported in connection with the incident.
Body-worn cameras have become an important tool in modern law enforcement, providing video and audio recordings of interactions between police officers and the public. In Summerville, city officials have approved a technology upgrade designed to better protect those recordings and preserve them as potential evidence in criminal investigations.
During its September meeting, the Summerville City Council unanimously approved a contract with Pro-Vision, the company that already provides body-worn cameras for the Summerville Police Department, to move camera footage from a local computer server to a cloud-based storage system.
The decision highlights an important part of body camera technology that often receives less attention than the cameras themselves: how recordings are stored, protected and retrieved after an incident.
Summerville Police were called to a residential neighborhood following a dispute involving two men who reportedly had a history of disagreements.
