CLARION CO., Pa. (EYT) — A Shippenville woman is facing a hearing next week on charges for check fraud.

Court documents indicate 23-year-old Keshia Dora Shetler is scheduled to stand for a preliminary hearing in front of Magisterial District Judge Jarah Lee Heeter at 9:15 a.m. on Tuesday, June 2, on one first-degree misdemeanor count of Theft by Deception-False Impression.

The charge stems from an investigation into an incident of check fraud that occurred at a Beaver Township, Clarion County business in October of 2019.

According to a criminal complaint, Clarion-based State Police were dispatched to a business in Beaver Township on October 31, 2019, regarding check fraud. The manager related that on October 7, 2019, Keshia Shetler had cashed a check at the business in the amount of $212.34 on October 7, 2019. The manager then received notice from the business’s bank that the check was returned for non-sufficient funds.

The manager was provided information about the company that had issued the check stating the check was previously cashed and cleared the company’s account on October 7 through a mobile banking app. The manager then contacted Shetler for her to made good on the check.

According to the complaint, Shetler never did so, and when police attempted to interview her regarding the incident, she failed to arrive for the interview.

The charge was filed against Shetler through Magisterial District Judge Jarah Lee Heeter’s office on Wednesday, April 1.
