Arabia M. Onyesonwu, 43, and Cory Terrell Davis, 35, both of Brooklyn, N.Y., and James J. Dunmeyer, of New York, N.Y., were arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Jack Miller Saturday afternoon.
According to the Affidavit of Probable Cause, Mifflin County Regional Police responded to the report of an alarm that went off at Kish Bank Friday afternoon.
Police said Dunmeyer attempted to cash a check for $950 and that he had stopped at various Kish Bank branches in Centre County to cash other fraudulent checks from Express Employment Professionals.
