A report of a forged check at a Holton Walmart leads deputies to a stash of credit cards and checks with various names on them, according to the Jackson Co. Sheriff’s Office.
Brandon K. Jordan, of Topeka, allegedly tried passing the check on Wednesday. Witnesses told authorities he got into the back of a green Ford Explorer and headed south. The SUV was intercepted near 182nd and U.S. Hey. 75 by an officer with the Kansas Dept. of Wildlife and Tourism.

Deputies arrested the 43 year-old and say they recovered the stash of credit cards and checks as well as a computer, printer, and check paper, which they think was used to make the checks. They also reportedly found what they think were methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
Two other individuals were also in the Explorer with Jordan. They were both questioned and released, the sheriff’s office said.
Jordan faces 7 counts of forgery, 18 counts of making a false writing, 18 counts of identity theft, 7 counts of counterfeiting, possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia, according to the Sheriff’s Office. He also has outstanding warrants for similar charges.
