The actor then electronically entered a check amount and attempted to cash it at a bank electronically, police said.

According to police, the bank was able to recognize the transaction as fraudulent before allowing it to be processed.

The investigation is ongoing.

Unauthorized Use of Motor Vehicle

PSP Franklin has released information regarding an unauthorized motor vehicle that occurred on July 24 in Pinegrove Township, Venango County.

Police say the incident occurred as a known 67-year-old Venus man allowed his son, Joshua Flockerzi, 36, of Venus, to borrow his 2008 Chrysler Town & Country until midnight on Sunday, July 24.

Flockerzi failed to return the van for nine days, police said.

When Flockerzi finally returned the van, there was damage to all sides of the vehicle from an “alleged striking of a deer.” Flockerzi allegedly fled the scene after dropping the van off at his father’s residence, police said.
