Man Accused of Passing Fake Checks at Greendale Area Banks

A 38-year-old Milwaukee man is facing charges after he allegedly passed counterfeit checks at banks in Greendale and Greenfield.

Danny Robert Alexander was charged in Milwaukee County Circuit Court Monday with one count of forgery. If convicted he could face up to six years in prison and $10,000 in fines.

According to the criminal complaint:

On Dec. 15, Alexander cashed a check for $1,740 at U.S. Bank, 5434 S. 76th St., Greendale. He then went to another bank in Greenfield where he cashed a check for $1,456.

Both checks were from Silver Mill Management Co., but investigators discovered the checks were counterfeit and no one from the company had endorsed them.

Alexander will make his initial appearance in court Tuesday.
