Marshalltown, Iowa – Nearly four months after felony charges were filed, Jeni Pollard, a woman from Aurora, Colorado, was arrested on June 5 in connection with a major check fraud case involving over $219,000.
According to a criminal complaint filed by the Marshalltown Police Department, Pollard allegedly used fraudulent means to cash a check originally issued by RACOM Corporation, a Marshalltown-based company. The check, worth $219,492.37, was intended for an authorized vendor but was altered to name Pollard and Lolli’s Cosmetics LLC, a business registered to her in Dallas, Texas.
Investigators discovered the check was deposited in North Carolina by an unknown male into a bank account owned by Pollard, which had a negative balance prior to the transaction. Within a week, the entire amount had been spent, with $30,000 transferred to a separate account.
Pollard was reportedly seen on surveillance footage withdrawing cash and driving a rented vehicle, with rental records confirming her identity. She allegedly wrote checks totaling $172,000 to multiple individuals.
Following unsuccessful attempts to reach her, the MPD issued a warrant in February 2025. Now 29, Pollard faces two Class C felony charges: identity theft over $10,000 and first-degree theft. She is being held at the Marshall County Jail on a $20,000 cash-only bond. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 16 at 9:40 a.m.
Notably, Pollard previously appeared on Season 3 of the reality show “Joseline’s Cabaret” on the Zeus Network in 2022.
