A third suspect has been arrested in connection with a $900,000 check fraud scheme in Florida.
Dequan Denson faces multiple charges, including 45 counts of use of personal identification information, conspiracy to use personal identification for over 30 individuals, and unlawful use of a two-way communication device.
Court records indicate Denson allegedly received photos of checks payable to the Florida Department of Financial Services. These images were used to create counterfeit checks, which were then deposited into various bank accounts. A search of Denson’s vehicle following a traffic stop revealed a printer, a pack of blank checks, and credit cards not in his name.
The total value of all checks involved is approximately $905,614.
Six individuals are reportedly part of the scheme, though only three have been arrested so far.
Other suspects include:
Oliva Rowls, charged with organized scheme to defraud, conspiracy to use personal identification, and unlawful use of a two-way communication device.
Martin Monroe, facing charges including aggravated white-collar crime and money laundering. Monroe is also linked to a separate 2024 scheme involving a $500,000 state check deposited by Solmaine McLean.
The investigation is ongoing as authorities continue to pursue additional suspects in the conspiracy.
