Oklahoma.gov
OKLAHOMA CITY (May 18, 2026) -- The Multi-County Grand Jury has indicted six individuals in connection with a scheme to cash over $100,000 in fraudulent checks at Walmart Supercenters across Oklahoma. The defendants are accused of using fraudulent checks, stolen identities and fraudulent temporary driver’s licenses to obtain cash.
Caleb Ali, Erika Watson, Dominique Price, Amber Smith, Aaron Hensley and Jesus Martinez Jr. face 10 felony counts ranging from conspiracy and forgery in the second degree to false personation.
“Schemes such as these harm businesses, drive up costs and end up hurting hardworking Oklahomans,” Attorney General Gentner Drummond said. “My office will continue working to combat fraud and hold offenders accountable to the law.”
According to the indictment, the defendants cashed dozens of bogus checks at Walmart Supercenters in Oklahoma City, Midwest City, Norman, Chandler, Glenpool, Edmond, Mustang, Yukon, Kingfisher, Broken Arrow, Moore, Claremore, Pryor, Sand Springs and Stillwater between December 2023 and August 2025.
