Woman Charged With Check Fraud in Westport

WESTPORT, Conn. – Southport resident Laura Fray is facing a forgery charge in Westport, police said.

Fray, 37, was arrested Saturday night in Southington and turned over to Westport police on a warrant. The warrant stems from an incident in May where Fray tried to cash a forged check for $200 at Chase Bank, police said.

Fray was charged with third-degree forgery and sixth-degree conspiracy to commit larceny. Additionally, Fray was wanted by Trumbull police on two warrants for second-degree failure to appear. She was unable to post bond and was arraigned in Norwalk Superior Court Monday morning.
