Officials are looking for a man they say has tried to pass fake trucker’s checks at several businesses in Fleming County.
At his latest hit, officials say the man walked into A Day To Remember in Fleming County last Wednesday around 4 p.m., purchased some items and asked for some cash back on a check that he passed.
The check appears to be a fraudulent “truckers check,” according to the Sheriff’s Office. It’s a FirstData EFS Transcheck, common with semi-truck drivers, but the transaction number, issuer number and telephone number on the check appear to be fraudulent, and the bank will not honor the check, officials said.

Deputies say the suspect had passed similar fraudulent checks to at least two other area businesses in Fleming County – Grime’s Greenhouse and The Pickett Fence. Each time, deputies say he purchased some merchandise and asked for cash back.
When confronted about the check possibly being fraudulent, the suspect pulled out his driver’s license and read off a license number, but that number was made up with no record on file.
He is described as a white male with dark brown hair and a brown/gray goatee, about 6-feet tall and 235 lbs wearing a gray polo and blue jean shorts and black tennis shoes with a large black tattoo the length of his left lower leg and possibly another tattoo on his left shoulder.
Deputies say the suspect was driving what appears to be a gray, newer model Chrysler 200 four-door sedan with a handicap placard on the rearview mirror and possibly a Kentucky license plate.
Officials say he was traveling with a white female with blonde hair who stayed in the car the entire time while he went inside the businesses.
Authorities say businesses are urged to ask for the customer’s driver’s license and copy down their information themselves.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Fleming County Sheriff’s office.
