Stolen checks used for shopping, tattoos
By Frank Abderholden

Living for today can have consequences tomorrow.

An 18-year-old Trevor, Wis., man and his three accomplices will face
some serious charges at the end of the month. The ringleader allegedly
stole checks from a former employer to fund shopping trips and tattoos
for himself and friends.

"This was a case of just thinking about today and not considering the
consequences of tomorrow," said Antioch police Cmdr. Craig Somerville,
who was not only referring to ring leader Jeffrey Allen, but his
accomplices Morgan Edwards, 17, of Lake Villa and Travis Daniels, 19,
and Marlone Tumulak, 19, of Antioch.

"He (Allen) held all the money. He would take them on shopping sprees
and buy them tattoos," said Somerville.

Police caught a break during the investigation when they called a
Lindenhurst bank about stolen business checks being cashed there and
while they were on the telephone a couple walked in and tried cashing
one of those checks.

The case began with a burglary of BCL Products at 834 Depot St. in
Antioch on July 15 where someone pried open a window. But when the
owner went through the plant he could not find anything missing.

But at the end of the month the owner opened his bank statement and
realized that someone was cashing checks. Seven checks were missing
from the bottom of the company checkbook. The bank informed him and
police that the checks were made out to ex-employee, Jeffrey Allen, who
had worked at the manufacturing plant for about two weeks in the
warehouse.

Police began calling banks and when they were on the telephone with
Capitol One in Lindenhurst a couple came in trying to cash one of the
checks the police were asking about. Lindenhurst police went to the
bank and arrested Morgan Edward and Travis Daniels.

The apprehension of Tumulak and Allen followed and Somerville said
Allen had to be convinced on the telephone to turn himself in. He
already had a warrant out for his arrest from Gurnee for burglary and
forgery.

"He knew the game was over," said Somerville.

Allen was charged with one count of burglary and two counts of forgery
by Antioch police; Edwards, of the 25300 block of West Lincoln Street,
was charged with two counts of forgery by Lindenhurst police; Daniels,
of the 600 block of Main Street, was charged with one count of burglary
and one count of forgery by Antioch; and Tumulak, also of the 600 block
of Main, was charged with one count of burglary by Antioch.

"Additional charges of forgery will be added down the road," said
Somerville.

The checks were cashed for a total of nearly $7,500.
