HARRISBURG – The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Lucy Annette Alexander, age 35, of Maryland and Washington, DC, was indicted on December 1, 2021, by a federal grand jury on seven counts of bank fraud for using checks in a fraudulent manner at stores located in the Middle District of Pennsylvania.

According to United States Attorney John C. Gurganus, the indictment alleges that between August 2019 and June 2021, Alexander wrote numerous checks at retail store locations, including PetSmart, Sears, Dollar Tree, Weis Markets (or Weis Pharmacy), Food Lion, MOM’s Organic Market, Giant Food, Harris Teeter, The Home Depot, Sally Beauty, Advance Auto Parts, Costco, Barnes & Noble, Hobby Lobby, BJ’s Wholesale Club, CVS Pharmacy, Party City, SHOE SHOW, Bed Bath & Beyond, Roses Discount Store, and others. It is also alleged that the JPMorgan Chase bank accounts from which Alexander wrote these checks were already closed and therefore did not have adequate funds to cover purchases at the above retail stores.  Alexander wrote over 200 checks from just one account after it was already closed.  The total amount of fraudulent checks written was over $200,000.
