Police have laid several fraud-related charges against 30-year-old Gabriel Graham of All Saints, following an alleged scheme involving a forged cheque worth nearly $20,000.
According to investigators, the incidents occurred on August 6 and 7, 2025, in Coolidge. Graham is accused of presenting and cashing a falsified cheque valued at $19,857.78.
He has been charged with Uttering a Forged Document, Obtaining Money on a Forged Document, and Forgery.
Graham was taken into custody earlier this week and remains detained as he awaits his first appearance before the court.
In the wake of the arrest, police are reminding members of the public and businesses to exercise caution when handling financial transactions and to report any suspicious activity immediately.
t’s always heartbreaking when you hear someone from the community getting caught up in this kind of thing. All Saints people are hardworking, and now we have this cloud hanging over us because of one man’s poor decisions
Not excusing what he did, but it makes you wonder what pushes a young man to risk prison time for a forged cheque. Is it greed, or is it financial pressure? Either way, it’s sad to see.
As a small business owner, this is exactly what I fear. One forged cheque can set a shop back badly. We need more training and maybe stronger penalties to discourage people from trying these tricks
People always trying to make easy money but never think of the consequences,or they just don’t care either way it’s never a good idea
This shows why we need to be extra careful when accepting cheques. The banks, businesses, and even regular citizens should know how to spot red flags. Prevention is better than cure
The heights people are willing to take when it comes to robbing the poor. Hmph
AMMMMMM isnt Gabriel a woman? Please fact check
So is Kim, but they still give males the name.
Fraud is theft, plain and simple. He should face the full force of the law. Too many people are finding loopholes to steal from others. This isn’t just about one man; it’s about protecting society
These crimes hurt everyone people need to be more vigilant with their documents and finances.”
