LANCASTER, Pa. — Stonewall Jackson Kiser III, 41, has been arrested for forgery and theft by deception after allegedly altering and cashing a check at a Lancaster County bank in September.

He was arrested on Jan. 23 by the Baltimore City Police and was taken to Baltimore Central Booking where he awaited extradition back to Lancaster to face these charges.

Kiser allegedly altered the amount on a check - that police later determined had been stolen - and forged his own name on it. He then supposedly took the check, which was originally made out for a total of $65,533.25, got rid of the "6," and had the check made out to him, then cashed it for $5,533.25. This occurred at a bank on Oregon Pike in Lancaster, according to police.

Kiser is currently being held in Manheim Township.
