A Taylor Township, Centre County oil distributor has been victimized by bad checks at least three times since the beginning of the year.
First, on January 6, 30-year-old Jennifer A. Pressler of Warriors Mark allegedly issued a check in the amount of $266.85 to C. Beard Oil that was returned without payment.
Less the two weeks later, 32-year-old Gerald H. Ward of Howard allegedly passed a check for payment of fuel oil for $375 to the same business. That check was also returned without payment.
On February 14, 32-year-old Amy K. Irwin of Bellefonte allegedly issued a check for $250.35 which was returned for non-payment.
According to the Philipsburg-based state police releases issued last week on the incidents, charges were pending against all three suspects at a local magisterial judges office.
