PARKER‘S CROSSROADS, Tenn. – A man is jailed in Henderson County after he reportedly tried to cash a forged check to pay his court fines. According to the Henderson County Sheriff‘s Department, a resident reported a new box of checks for her account had been mailed to the wrong address and her bank notified her that a suspicious check had been written on her account for the purchase of pit bull dogs. Tuesday, investigators said that Cornelius Talley tried to cash a $500.00 check from the woman‘s account. After the teller refused to cash the check, the subject became angry and restless and she called the Sheriff’s Department. Talley was taken to the Henderson County jail and is charged with several counts of forgery. Deputies said that, after Talley was taken into custody, he stated, “I was just trying to get some money together to pay my fines.” Talley was released from the Henderson County Criminal Justice Complex on unrelated charges with pending fines and court costs ten days prior to this incident.
