A subject attempted to cash a fraudulent check at the Bank of Charlestown branch in Purcellville. He presented two forms of ID, without being prompted, and asked the teller to hurry. Suspicious, the teller told the customer that she would need to call the issuing company and verify the check.

At that point the suspect collected his ID and the check and left the bank. Shortly thereafter, the Leesburg branch manager contacted the Purcellville branch and reported that the same subject was in the Leesburg location, attempting to cash the check.

Leesburg Police responded and caught the suspect in the bank. Purcellville officers obtained and served warrants for Forgery and Uttering and Possessing Forged Bank Notes.

Although the call notes indicated that the subject was turning blue and was unresponsive, the first officer on the scene found the victim and the reporting party up and mobile and they walked to a medic unit that was staged at the 7-Eleven. Medics checked the subject, who refused further treatment.

The complainant, a victim of domestic violence, met officers in the parking lot of her complex and reported that she had been assaulted by her intoxicated boyfriend. The victim was bleeding from her lip. 

Officers located the suspect, who denied both the physical assault and being intoxicated. He claimed having only one beer, which was counter to a BAC reading of .13 from the Alco-sensor test that he took.
