(KAIR)--Forgery and financial crimes land an Atchison man in jail, including the allegation that he used the name of a deceased person to aid in his criminal activity.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News 41-year-old Jeremy Brown was arrested Wednesday afternoon. "Officers responded to the Bank of Atchison, in the 700 block of Kansas Avenue, where a subject was attempting to cash several forged checks,” Wilson said. “The bank personnel had recognized the name on the check as being a person who's now deceased. That alerted them to call us."

Following his arrest, Brown was booked into the Atchison County Jail Wednesday, facing a charge of forgery.

The next day, more charges were added, while Brown was in custody, on an Atchison County District Court Warrant following further investigation. “That's in connection to the fraudulent use of a financial card at several businesses on November 1 and November 2. This case was investigated in early November after a 62-year-old male victim reported that an acquaintance had taken cash, and a financial card, from him.”

Brown now faces the additional charges of criminal use of a financial card, computer crime, and theft.

He remains jailed, held on a bond of $10,000.
