On January 9, 2024, a white male suspect opened checking accounts at Dairy State Bank and Citizen's Bank in Menomonie. The suspect used a fake Georgia driver's license named John Southwood d.o.b. 5/18/88 to open the accounts and told the bank tellers he was a truck driver.
On 01/12/2024, between approximately 0852 hours and 1010 hours, the suspect cashed fake checks at Citizens State Bank branches located in Hudson, Roberts, Woodville, and Elmwood totaling over $11k.
The suspect also cashed two other fake checks at Dairy State banks located in Menomonie and Downsville totaling over $4k.
