MARQUETTE COUNTY, Wis. - The Marquette County Sheriff's Office is looking for a man who they say tried to cash a fraudulent check on Jan. 25 – and may be in southeast Wisconsin.
The suspect went into National Exchange Bank in Montello, the sheriff's office said, and tried to cash a check for $2,260. The check said it was from a drywall business in Pardeeville, but the bank later determined the check, account and business name listed were all fraudulent.
The sheriff's office said the man did provide a driver's license and social security number card with the same name as the one listed on the check – ""Pedro Luis Tosado Luis Jr."
