Two people connected to national theft chains against Walmart passed through Cranberry Township in March, according to charges filed Thursday, May 29.

Deshaun Anthony Jackson, 26, of Arabi, La., is accused of cashing fraudulent checks at more than 60 Walmart stores across the country totaling more than $85,000, Cranberry Township police said.

Jackson was charged with felony forgery and one misdemeanor count each of theft, receiving stolen property and bad checks following a March 11 incident at Walmart.

Police said Jackson entered the store and cashed a check for $1,653.07 at the customer service desk and left in an Enterprise vehicle he previously rented. Police said the check was under a different name than Jackson’s with an address that does not exist.

On March 31, a woman accused of more than 130 incidents related to using fraudulent money at national retailers entered the store.

Cranberry Township police charged Briann Nora Akerele, 19, of Calumet City, Ill., with one felony count each of forgery and criminal attempt at forgery, and one misdemeanor count each of theft, possession of a crime instrument, criminal attempt at theft, and an ungraded charge for receiving stolen property.

Police said Akerele brought five items to the checkout and attempted to pay using counterfeit $100 bills. She paid for two items using two $100 bills, and when she attempted to pay for a second transaction with three more $100 bills, the cashier became suspicious and went to get a manager.

Police said Akerele left the merchandise for the second transaction and left the store. Walmart later discovered the two $100 bills used in the first transaction were fraudulent.

Preliminary hearings before District Judge Kevin Flaherty are pending in both cases.
