A Fort Lauderdale woman was arrested Monday for attempting
to cash a fraudulent check at a Key Largo bank.
Sgt. Jason Madnick responded to Centennial Bank at the 100.2
mile marker at 3 p.m. after the bank manager called to report someone
attempting to cash a fraudulent check. When he arrived, he encountered 24 year
old Rose Marie Normann, who was trying to cash a check for $7,503.99. The check
she was trying to cash was similar to a number of fraudulent checks cashed in
the past week at Centennial Banks throughout the Keys. Those fraudulent check
cases are currently under investigation by Sheriff’s detectives.
The check was written on the account of “Allied Vision Group
Inc.” out of Fort Lauderdale. A call to the president of that company confirmed
the check to be fraudulent.
Normann had arrived at the bank in a blue Nissan SUV, which
was parked at an adjacent business with two men waiting inside. When Sgt.
Madnick walked outside to make contact with those two men, they pulled out of
the parking lot and began to head southbound on the highway. Deputy Ben Ellmore
was on his way to the bank to provide backup and pulled the vehicle over. He
identified the two occupants of the car as Armando Mejide Mir and Yoel Perez
Corrales, both 24 years old from the Miami area.
In an interview with Sgt. Madnick, Normann said she’d been
to the Keys prior to this, a few days before, and cashed another check at a
Centennial Bank for a large amount of cash.
She was charged with uttering a forged instrument and
criminal use of personal identification. More charges against her and the two
men who were with her are pending further investigation.
