A Bradford woman faces 52 charges — 36 of them felonies — stemming from the alleged use of nine counterfeit checks from Jan. 3 to 6 at Northwest Bank locations in Bradford.

Chandra Beth Wedge, 7 Kiwanis Court, Apartment B, is charged with nine counts each of forgery — unauthorized act in writing and forgery — utters forged writing, all second-degree felonies; nine counts of using counterfeit checks and three counts each of theft by unlawful taking, theft by deception and receiving stolen property, all third-degree felonies; nine counts of knowingly possessing counterfeit checks, third-degree misdemeanors; and nine counts of writing bad checks, first-degree misdemeanors.

According to the criminal complaint, Wedge, 39, executed nine counterfeit checks purportedly from Republic Bank totaling $50,200 for deposit in a valid Northwest Bank account. The checks were made out to Wedge, “along with an actual account number to purport they were issued to her by Republic Bank, when in fact the checks were issued to a business in Illinois.”

After the checks were deposited, police allege, Wedge made four different cash withdrawals totaling $22,600.

Northwest Bank and Republic Bank confirmed the checks were counterfeit. Further, police report, Wedge was captured on Northwest Bank surveillance committing the offenses.

Bradford City Police investigated.

Wedge was arraigned Wednesday before District Judge Rich Luther and remanded to McKean County Jail in lieu of $150,000 bail. She is scheduled to appear in Central Court on Thursday.
