Conrad J. Dulmes, 1105 S. 17th St., Apt. A, faces up to 24 years in prison and up to $80,000 in fines if convicted of all charges.
According to the criminal complaint:
Dulmes was being arrested on Dec. 20, 2011, when he asked officers to hand him his jacket. Before giving it to him, a detective checked the pockets and discovered a checkbook belonging to Benjamin Built Construction LLC of 1723 N. Fifth St.
Inside the checkbook were carbons for eight checks written to various businesses, including several to Kwik Trip and two to Shopko, in the amount of $617.59.
The account on which the checks were drawn, at Cleveland State Bank, had been closed in November. Video and still surveillance images from several retail stores show a man who looks like Dulmes making purchases.
He acknowledged to investigators that the checkbook was not his, but didn’t admit writing the checks.
