MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Police say a woman deposited $25,000 worth of forged checks into her First Horizon account and then transferred the fraudulent funds to a Cash App account before the bank figured it out. Roshell Perkins, 27, was booked in the Shelby County Jail this week on charges of forgery and theft of $10,000 - $60,000. First Horizon said several counterfeit checks were deposited into a customer's account in June and July. WREG photo Bank investigators said four fraudulent checks from three different businesses were deposited into Perkins' bank account between June 18 and July 1. Among them were two checks totaling nearly $6,000 from Jackson Christian School in Jackson, Tennessee, and a $4,163.00 check from Forsyth Rooter Service in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The various businesses told police that the checks were initially made out to other vendors and that they had no idea how Perkins got her hands on them. Thirsty thief steals Stanley cups worth hundreds "We noticed our vendor hadn't been paid, and that's when we got the bank to send us a copy, and that's when we found it wasn't made out to our vendor," said a Forsyth Rooter Service employee. Police said the stolen checks were all made out to Perkins. The victims told investigators Perkins had never worked for them and that they didn't know who she was. Detectives said the bank gave them a statement showing the deposit of the forged checks and the transfer of the funds via the Cash App. Perkins was released from jail Tuesday on a $7,500 bond. She is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday.
