After Thomas Minnock, 58, allegedly deposited the check, the bank called police. An investigation revealed the check was altered, police say.
Police arrested Minnock at about 10:55 a.m. Tuesday morning, charging him with second-degree larceny, first-degree conspiracy to commit larceny and third-degree forgery. Minnock will appear in court Sept. 12.
Reports are based on information provided by the Newtown Police Department. Arrests are not indications of guilt.
