She tried to cash a $4,000 check using someone's info, police say. Then she left her license.

A Columbus woman left her driver's license at a SunTrust Bank after she allegedly tried to cash a fake $4,000 check using someone else's account information, according to testimony Tuesday in Recorder's Court.

Erica Megan Kirkendoll, 30, faces one count each of identity fraud and third-degree forgery stemming from the May 3 incident. She was ordered held in the Muscogee County Jail under bonds totaling $6,500.

Judge Julius Hunter bound the case over to Superior Court.

Columbus police were called to the SunTrust Bank at 2401 Airport Thruway around 2 p.m. May 3 to investigate a woman who tried to cash a fraudulent check.

A bank employee said Kirkendoll came in with a check for $4,875 and left while she was trying to establish if it was a valid check. Kirkendoll left her driver's license behind, according to police.

Officials said the fraudulent check was created using bank information from a woman in Greenville, S.C. They called the victim and she confirmed that she had not given the check to anyone.

Kirkendoll was taken into custody Friday at the Meriwether County Jail, where she was being held on unrelated charges. She was extradited to Columbus to face charges stemming from the May incident.

Represented by Columbus public defender Owen Lynch, Kirkendoll didn't testify in court.
