Paducah police received a call from a woman saying she had received two cashier's checks that had been altered. She told officers that she received the checks from 56-year-old Tony Moore, who was attempting to buy a home and car from the woman.
Moore reportedly purchased the checks from Regions Bank for $10 and $38, then allegedly altered them to $70,000 and $38,000. He was arrested and lodged in the McCracken County Jail.
He is being charged with first-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument.
