Galesburg Police responded to HyVee early on Sunday morning (April 24th) for a report of forgery. Police met with the store’s head accountant who said they had a total of seven checks belonging to a Galesburg male on a bank account that couldn’t be located, according to police reports. Employees said the checks were written out by a white female at HyVee Gas. Police viewed security footage of the female pumping gas, and due to previous encounters, were able to positively identify the woman as 34-year-old Jessica England of Galesburg. Officers learned that the checks were reported stolen and the owner of the account had passed away eight years ago. The departed’s home had been burglarized as recently as December. England, in total, had written checks totaling $410. She’s been added to the GPD’s pending arrest list and is facing forgery charges.
