A South Lake Tahoe man is in the Douglas County Jail after he and seven others cashed fraudulent payroll checks at area casinos.
Between August 19 and 25, 2016, checks totaling $16,693.98 were falsely written on an account owned by Twenty Two Bistro of Squaw Valley according to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office (DCSO).
After it was known that people were cashing the fraudulent checks at local casinos, Lakeside Inn notified DCSO that South Lake Tahoe resident John Liska had attempted to cash one in the amount of $976.15 on August 29 and was taken into custody.
