All indictments against Prichard were for “unlawful and with intent to defraud” forgery from April to December 2023
According to a report by WJLE.com in Smithville, Owner of Prichard’s Foods in Alexandria Stein Edward Prichard, who was charged with four counts of forgery earlier this year, was recently sentenced to two years of “judicial diversion probation” and must pay $3000 in restitution. All indictments against Prichard were for “unlawful and with intent to defraud” forgery from April to Dec. 2023 in the amounts of $5,199, $3247, $935, and $6,205.
There were multiple victims.
According to the report on WJLE.com:
Sheriff Patrick Ray said that Prichard was accused of having altered checks of store customers, changing the actual amounts to much higher amounts.“People would come into the store and buy goods and would write a check and then he allegedly would change the amount of the check and run it through the bank and used the proceeds for his benefit,” said Sheriff Ray.
If all conditions of probation have been met after a year, a petition can be filed by Prichard or his attorneys to terminate the rest of the sentence. WJLE reports that the state will not oppose the appeal.
