Chandler police broke up what they say appears to be a one person fraud, forgery and counterfeit enterprise after a Casa Grande woman tried to cash a forged check at a supermarket.

According to Chandler police, Shari Denise Ballard, 50, had five computers and templates for United States currency, counterfeit money, forged checks, check writing programs and evidence in the manufacturing of fake Arizona driver licenses in her home. Ballard was arrested and booked on 13 counts of fraud and forgery.

Sgt. Rick Griner, Chandler police spokesman, said there were test documents and some of the final products looked nearly authentic and could be passed if a clerk wasn’t paying attention.

Investigators will try to determine as many victims as possible.

So far, investigators believe Ballard worked alone because all the forged identification and checks were in her name.

Ballard tried to pass at Food City, 1005 N. Arizona Ave., but it was less than $200.

An employee at the store called police and patrol officers made a traffic stop and found evidence with Ballard that allowed detectives to draft a search warrant for her home.
