Tulsa woman sought in Edmond check fraud
EDMOND — A police spokeswoman urges Edmond residents to be careful with their personal financial information in response to a recent check theft.
Edmond Police have filed an out of custody complaint against Tammy M. Reicher, 27, of Tulsa, who allegedly stole a check from the victim’s home and cashed it for $200 at an out-of-state bank, according to a police report. Reicher faces petty larceny and forgery complaints, police said.
Police spokeswoman Glynda Chu said the Oklahoma County District Attorney’s Office has accepted Edmond’s complaint. Chu said an arrest warrant will be issued and if the suspect does not turn herself in, if she is stopped for a traffic violation, the warrant will show and she could be arrested on the charges at that time.
Police said Reicher was working for Merry Maids when the alleged theft occurred. In this case, the victim was diligent after she noticed two checks were missing from her checkbook, Chu said. She reported the fraudulent check immediately once she discovered that it had been cashed, Chu said.
“We encourage everyone to put their checks, bank and credit card statements in a secure place when you have strangers in your home,” Chu said.
On Sept. 24, the victim opened her bank statement and found a check written by Tammy Reicher for $200. “Howsecleaning” was written on the check’s memo line.
A phone message from The Edmond Sun seeking comment from Merry Maids management was not returned.
In the past, Reicher has had several encounters with the court system, according to the state courts online database. Past offenses include receiving a stolen credit card.
Not every incident leads to a charge under the law. If charges are filed, innocence or guilt is determined by a court of law.
