The Bulloch County Sheriff's Office says 34 year old Brandy Barbee is behind bars after a search warrant uncovered a complete setup for manufacturing fictitious checks.
It began when a Statesboro residence was burglarized in December. The burglar stole several items including personal checks. The victim found the checks were being used and notified Law Enforcement. Police were then able to obtain surveillance video of the purchase.
After releasing that video to the public, the Sheriff's Office was flooded with viewer tips and police were able to identify Barbee.
When Law Enforcement exercised a search warrant on her home on the 600 block of Waverly Lane, they found 553 fictitious checks with 40 different names. Barbee's Boyfriend, Tito Scott, was also taken into custody on Identity Fraud Charges.
U.S. Marshal's were able to locate Barbee at a Nashville, Tennessee motel and had her extradited back to Bulloch County where she is currently being held without bond.
She's facing 41 counts of Identity Fraud along with other charges.
