Jazzmine Ferdinand Charged in $2,090 Check Fraud Case

ST. CROIX — A 21-year-old woman, Jazzmine Ferdinand, has been arrested following a months-long investigation into an attempted check fraud incident at the Bank of St. Croix.

The case stems from an April 11 complaint filed by a bank representative after Ferdinand allegedly tried to cash a $2,090.39 check using her Florida state driver’s license. The check, which was linked to a local business account, was found to contain forged signatures.

An investigation by the V.I. Police Department’s Economic Crimes Unit uncovered that the check was counterfeit. Based on the findings, an arrest warrant was issued for Ferdinand.

On Monday, Ferdinand voluntarily turned herself in at the Wilbur H. Francis Command Police Station, where she was taken into custody without incident. She faces multiple charges, including:

Attempted obtaining money by false pretense

Forgery

Uttering forged documents

Possession of forged instruments

Attempted grand larceny

Identity theft

Unauthorized computer access for fraud

Conspiracy

Her bail was set at $5,500. Unable to post bond, she was remanded to the John A. Bell Adult Correctional Facility. Ferdinand awaits her Advice of Rights Hearing.
