ADAMS TWP — An Evans City woman faces felony charges after allegedly forging a signature of a township woman.

Codie R. Rekasie, 21, waived her charges to county court Tuesday for allegedly trying to cash a starter check in October from the victim’s account at the Dollar Bank in Cranberry Township.

The bank alerted police to the possible crime and informed them the check was retained and not cashed. The victim had five starter checks in her purse and was waiting for new ones.

The victim said Rekasie, who according to the police report is the victim’s cousin, had been at the victim’s residence.

Two of the five starter checks went missing and were not given to Rekasie by the victim.

Rekasie faces a felony charge of forgery, and misdemeanor charges of theft and receiving stolen property.

She will be arraigned in county court on Feb. 28.
