Clarinda Police Chief Keith Brothers says multiple felony charges have been filed against a local man as the result on an ongoing investigation into financial fraud by the Clarinda Police Department. Brothers said 31-year old Tristan Lynn Marsh, of Clarinda, was arrested Tuesday afternoon, (January 27th) on a warrant alleging that Marsh committed felony theft and 25 counts of felony forgery at a local Clarinda business.

Marsh allegedly issued 25 forged checks to the business between October and December 2014, totaling almost $15,000.  He was taken into custody without incident at his home, and was being held in the Page County Jail on $25,000 cash bond, pending an initial appearance before the Page County Magistrate.

The investigation has been referred to the Page County Attorney’s Office for review of the filing of formal charges.
