Council Bluffs police officers arrived and found 30 counterfeit checks on Hockabout – 27 belonging to a pair of private citizens and three forgeries of checks from Nebraska Precious Metals of Omaha – along with nine fake driver’s licenses. Officers arrested the woman on suspicion of 30 counts of forgery, nine counts of falsifying public documents and for interference with official acts. Each forgery and falsification count is a Class D felony and carries a maximum prison sentence of five years.

Hockabout is a familiar face to those in the ‘Bluffs P-D. Dawson said she pleaded guilty in 2010 to forgery and probation violation and was arrested for second-degree theft and drug possession in July of 2013. Most recently, she was arrested in mid-March of this year on seven counts of forgery, two counts of falsifying public documents and ongoing criminal conduct, and was out on bond.

She also has warrants out of Douglas County, Neb., for fraud, identity theft and other forgery-related crimes, according to Douglas County Corrections. After her latest arrest, Hockabout remains at the Pottawattamie County Jail on a $250,000 bond.
