Eric K. Smith, 26, of 327 S. Miami St., Quincy, was charged with one count of forgery and three counts of receiving stolen property after corrections officers at the Logan County Jail found several stolen checks in his possession.
Deputies of the Logan County Sheriff’s Office report Mr. Smith was being booked into the jail Tuesday on previously reported charges related to the theft of a wallet from a vehicle parked in the Quincy area. During the booking process, corrections officers located three stolen checks in his possession.

The inmate was issued the additional charges.
