A 47-year-old woman is accused of attempting to cash a fraudulent check and drug possession after a failed attempt Thursday, according to a magistrate’s complaint filed in Guam Superior Court.

Cheryl Moana Marie Borja was charged with forgery as a second-degree felony and possession of a schedule II controlled substance as a third-degree felony, the complaint states.

Around 12:15 a.m. Thursday, police responded to Rustan’s Foreign Exchange after an employee said a customer tried to cash a fraudulent check for $1,300.

The employee told police the numbers did not appear on the check, the bank the check purported to belong to, Oceanic Bank, had not been in business since 2009, and the company named on the check, Bolson Builder’s Guam, had not been in business since then. 2019, the complaint states.

Borja was detained at the store while the employee called the police.

Officers arrived and patted Borja for his weapons, who revealed a plastic bag in his left back pocket containing a white, crystal-like substance, documents state.

Borja was placed in the patrol vehicle and transported to the station at approximately 12:45 p.m., and upon arrival, officers found a glass pipe on the back floor near where Borja was sitting.

A field test on a sample from the bag found in Borja’s pocket resulted in a presumptive positive for methamphetamine, the complaint states.

Borja agreed to speak with officers and admitted that the check she tried to cash was fake and that a friend had given her a blank check and used a typewriter to enter the information seen on the check, it it shows in the documents.

Borja said she agreed to give her friend some of the money she got from successfully cashing the fraudulent checks, but the first time was at Rustan’s, so she couldn’t get any money.

She also admitted to having the baggie of suspected methamphetamine in her pocket and the glass pipe found in the patrol vehicle in which she was arrested at the precinct.

Borja was ordered held on $1,000 bail, according to documents from the attorney general’s office.
