A Vicksburg man was arrested at Walmart Wednesday on three warrants issued last April for uttering a forgery, police Capt. Bobby Stewart said.
Delvin Kelly, 35, 117 Quinola Lane, was recognized by a loss prevention employee of the store at 2150 Iowa Blvd., who called police at 2:06 p.m., said Stewart.
Kelly is accused of depositing three checks totaling $7,260 into a personal account he was opening at the bank inside the store on April 12, Stewart said. After making the deposit, Kelly immediately withdrew the funds, and the checks were later found to be counterfeit, said Stewart.
Kelly was in the Issaquena County Jail this morning on a $75,000 bond.
