PONCHATOULA — A man is wanted by deputies for cashing fake checks worth thousands of dollars from the U.S. Treasury.

In April, Jerome Robinson, 34, is accused of going to multiple branches of The First Bank to deposit and cash out the fake checks. 

Tangipahoa Parish deputies said the first instance of check fraud resulted in a check cashed for $9,334.78 at a First Bank location on LA 190. Robinson is then accused of withdrawing two $7,000 checks at the same branch. Later, at the Ponchatoula location, Robinson tried to deposit a $14,000 check.

Deputies said all of the checks he tried to deposit were written to his name from the U.S. Treasury. 

Robinson is wanted for one count each of bank fraud, government benefits fraud and unlawful production, manufacturing, distribution or possession of fraudulent documents for identification purposes.
