On May 15th, 2009, the Town of Selma reported to the Clayton Police Department that they were a victim of a check cashing scam.  Officials with the Town of Selma reported that they sent a former customer a check for a utility refund.  Days later the customer reported they didn’t receive the check and the Town of Selma issued a stop payment on it.  In turn the customer went to the Town of Selma and personally picked up a newly issued check in its place.  The customer then immediately cashed the newly issued check.    A few days later that same customer cashed the first original check at a local restaurant in Clayton.  The check was in the amount of $999.00.

Clayton Police Detective Jason Linder issued a warrant for the arrest of:  Lakeitha Evette Davis, 33, of 3233 Calculus Ln, Raleigh, NC.

Davis was charged with 1 felonious count of Obtaining Property by False Pretense.

Davis was picked up by the Wake County Sherriff’s office on 5-18-09 and the warrant was served on her. 

She received a $5,000.00 secure bond.
