2 People Arrested In Monona May Be Part Of Multi-State Fraud Ring

Monona Police believe two people arrested Sunday night are part of a large group which has passed bad checks worth more than 700-thousand dollars at several Walmart locations.  Forty-four-year-old Jason Edge and 42-year-old Shelly Scott were taken into custody after trying to pass a forged check.  While officers were headed to the Walmart in Monona, a false 9-1-1 call was made in an effort to draw them away.  That accomplice hasn’t been located.  Police think the two Missouri suspects are part of a group which has passed forged checks in several states.  They may have defrauded the big box retailer of as much as one-million dollars.
