Mother Files Charges Against Daughter for Forging Checks: Prosecutors

A 39-year-old woman has been charged with forgery after her mother accused her of stealing blank checks and cashing them, prosecutors said.

Kassi Wills, of the 2500 block of West 97th Street, Evergreen Park, was charged with felony forgery.

According to the charges, the Evergreen Park woman’s mother noticed that checks she had not written in her bank statement.

Prosecutors said that around October 14, Wills took blank checks belonging to her mother and cashing them.

Two of the checks were written out for $160 each, and a third in the amount of $170. Surveillance video at TCF Bank shows Wills cashing the checks, prosecutors said.

Police said Wills admitted to writing and cashing the checks after she was arrested.

Wills has no prior criminal background. She lives with her mother and other family members, her attorney told the judge.

She was released on a $2,500 I-bond. The judge said he didn’t think he could enforce a no- contact order with her mother, because Wills lives with her.

Wills said she is trying to make other living arrangements.
