Details of the case:
According to a criminal complaint, on July 31, Clarion-based State Police received a complaint about an incident of a bad check received from Kylee Coon on March 15 to play bingo at a local fire department.
The complainant reported that Coon had given the fire department the check to play bingo. It was discovered that she was in the Jefferson County Jail for related charges from using the same checks from a closed account. These checks, which were from an old bank account, were allegedly taken from her grandparents’ home. Coon then forged her grandmother’s name on the related check and gave it to the fire department for bingo.
The fire department later received the check back from the bank due to the bank account being closed.
Trooper Lingle, of the Clarion-based State Police, interviewed the victim who related she never gave Coon permission to have or sign any signature to the checks from the closed account.
Trooper Lingle also interviewed the complainant from the fire department who related that Coon gave the fire department a check for $920.00.
The complainant also related that he attempted to contact Coon through Facebook, but several months passed without Coon paying back the money, the complaint states.
Based on the investigation, the charges were filed on September 28, in Magisterial District Judge Duane L. Quinn’s office.
Coon is also scheduled to appear for a plea hearing in front of Jefferson County President Judge John H. Foradora at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, October 17, on related charges filed in Jefferson County.
