A 59-year-old Columbus man was arrested earlier this month in Worthington after allegedly attempting to cash a forged check.
The man tried to use a check for $4,510 at a bank on High Street the afternoon of April 9, according to a Worthington Division of Police report.
Tellers reported the man to police, who arrested him.
Sgt. James Moran said the man has been charged with a fifth-degree felony count of forgery and could face additional charges, such as theft, when officers file a grand-jury packet.

The girl sat on someone's lap and fell to the side in the middle of a turn, accidentally opening the door and falling onto the street.
The girl's injuries were minor and no one was charged.

The man started his vehicle at midnight on the 600 block of High Street and left it running while he went inside the building.

Officers recovered the car in Columbus and towed it back to Worthington for processing.
