Oklahoma (KOCO) — Six people have been indicted by a multi-county grand jury for allegedly cashing more than $100,000 in fake checks at Walmart stores across Oklahoma over nearly two years.
The indictment states the scheme occurred between December 2023 and August 2025. The six defendants face 10 felony counts, including conspiracy, forgery and identity theft.
Investigators say the group targeted Walmarts across the Oklahoma City metro and the state, including locations in Oklahoma City, Norman, Moore, Edmond, Broken Arrow, Lawton and Stillwater.
Court documents accuse the defendants of cashing more than 100 fraudulent checks using fake temporary driver’s licenses to obtain thousands of dollars at a time, totaling more than $100,000.
Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond said schemes like this harm businesses, drive up costs and hurt hardworking Oklahomans.
“My office will continue combating fraud and will hold those who do it accountable,” Drummond said.
The defendants were first charged in January, but the documents were sealed until the grand jury indictment was released Monday.
Their next court date is scheduled for mid-June.
