A local man has been accused of writing an unauthorized check for more than $2,000.

Judah Seruya, 41, was charged with forgery on Dec. 12, 2013.

According to a North Liberty police complaint, Seruya allegedly forged a check with the intent to defraud another person.

Seruya admitted to forging the check and to writing an unauthorized check drawn on the person’s account for $2,250, the complaint said. The check was deposited into Seruya’s account, and he used the money for his own purposes, the complaint said.

Forgery is a Class-D felony.
