Store manager charged with forgery

Posted

Authorities are accusing a store manager of AAA Check Advance in Warrenton of forging loans to herself using the names and information of previous customers.Carisa Barton, 44, of Truesdale, allegedly forged customer names on four loans between September and November 2016, according to the Warrenton Police Department. Barton’s name reportedly was signed as the witness to all four loans. The lending agreements were for amounts totaling $2,500.The investigation into the loans revealed a text message conversation between Barton and one of the customers named on a loan, police said.In seeking a warrant for Barton’s arrest, police quoted a message in which Barton apparently tried to convince a customer to say that they took out the loan so that she will not be charged with a felony. The customer replied with profanity and refused.Two more customers were contacted by police and said they did not sign the loan agreements under investigation. The fourth customer was in Texas at the time their signature was used on a loan in Warrenton, authorities said.Barton now faces four charges of forgery. She has an arraignment scheduled for Wednesday, July 19, at the Warren County Circuit Court.Carisa Barton
