A 50-year-old Allentown man is facing multiple charges after cops say he wrote bad checks to purchase almost $1500 in chocolate from Keystone State Distributors in March, according to the Bethlehem Patch.
Joseph Fiore was arrested and charged with felony forgery, writing bad checks, theft and receiving stolen property.
The Patch reports that on March 15, Fiore used a check from a bank that is no longer in business to pay for $730 worth of chocolate from Keystone State, according to the arrest affidavit.
He returned to the distributor on Mach 19 and made the same purchase using the same bad checks.
Both times, Fiore signed the checks as “Anthony Larusso,” according to the Bethlehem Patch. When Keystone caught on, they alerted authorities.
Fiore was identified through surveillance video.
He was arraigned Monday. His bail is set at $25,000.
