Two Stockton women spent some time in custody at the Napa County Department of Corrections Saturday, suspected of attempting to pass phony checks.

Mahogany Brandi Easter, 24, and Alberta Estherlee Edmond, 35, went to Lawler’s Liquors on Jefferson Street and attempted to purchase items using a fake check, said Napa Police Sgt. Amy Hunter.

“The owner of Lawler’s believed that the check was fraudulent,” Hunter said, adding that the owner informed police about the two women.

Hunter said officers got a description of Easter and Edmond as well as their vehicle and an officer located the car at the parking lot of Lucky Supermarket on California Boulevard at 3 p.m. She said that the duo again attempted to pass phony checks at the supermarket but were declined.

Police arrested the women on suspicion of passing fraudulent checks as well as burglary and in Edmond’s case, suspicion of  conspiracy to commit a crime.
