The suspect in a string of fake checks cashed at local Woodford State Banks branches on Jan. 20.

DARLINGTON — On Thursday, Jan. 11, 2024, a black female suspect opened a savings account at Woodford State Bank in the City of Monroe. The suspect used a fake Georgia driver’s license with the name Ashley Densberger (d.o.b. 10/05/91) to open the account and told the bank tellers she was a traveling nurse.

Nine days later between approximately 8:45-10:45 a.m. on Jan. 20, the suspect cashed fake checks at Woodford State Bank branches located in New Glarus, Blanchardville, Argyle, Darlington, and South Wayne, totaling over $11,000.

The suspect arrived at each location on foot but was believed to have been a passenger in a white 4-door sedan, possibly a newer-style Volkswagon Jetta. 

A notice was sent out statewide because the suspect does not appear local.

Anyone with information should contact local law enforcement.
