CHECK-CASHING FRAUD
A federal judge has sentenced a Georgia man to more than five years in prison after he admitted to leading a check-cashing conspiracy. Prosecutors say Traveon H. Reese, 31, of Atlanta, Georgia, stole the identities and checks belonging to local business owners and defrauded financial institutions across central and southern Illinois. Reese faces 70 months of federal imprisonment following a 20-year term on similar state charges in Iowa.
