Conn. man pleads guilty to forging check from Canaan By DAMIEN FISHER Union Leader Correspondent October 23. 2018 10:06PM KEENE — A Connecticut man is heading to jail after he pleaded guilty to forging a check from the town of Canaan and cashing it at a bank in Keene. Ellis G. Dixson, 33, pleaded guilty this week to a felony count of forgery for the check scheme. According to the affidavit filed in court, Dixson was able to cash two forged checks from the town before he was caught. An employee at the Mascoma Savings Bank branch in Keene contacted police in January of 2017 to report a suspicious transaction. The bank was already aware that several customers had their accounts compromised, having been contacted by the FBI about the issue. The breach meant some customers may have had their accounts used on fake checks. The bank responded by setting up a special online register system so that each check issued could be verified as being legitimate by staff when it was deposited or cashed, according to the affidavit. One of the customers with a compromised account was the town of Canaan, according to the affidavit. On Jan. 13, 2017, a man came into the West Street branch of Mascoma Savings Bank with a check for $1,000 from Canaan. He reportedly presented a Connecticut identification and was able to get the money. According to the affidavit, the teller failed to check the register system to verify the check’s authenticity, even though bank staff later said the check appeared to be a forgery. Police were able to track the name of the suspect as an alias known to be used by Dixson. He was also able to cash another forged $1,000 check from Canann at the Mascoma Bank branch in Charlestown, and he tried to do the same thing at the Springfield, Vt., branch, according to the affidavit. In Vermont, the teller checked the special register for Canaan and learned the check Dixson presented was a fake. The teller asked him to wait for a manager, but Dixson left the bank instead. Keene police Detective Steven LaMears writes in the affidavit that he learned Dixson tried a similar crime in 2016 in Massachusetts. Dixson was arrested by Sutton, Mass., police when he reportedly tried to cash a forged check from the town of Seekonk in Massachusetts. Dixson will serve 270 days in jail, and is ordered to repay the bank for the money he took. He must also remain on good behavior for four years once he is released as part of his probation.
