Police seek victims of check scam

Sisters police are looking for Sisters merchants or citizens who may have taken bad checks allegedly written by Mark Andrew Kristel.

According to Sisters Police Chief Rich Shawver, Kristel, whose whereabouts are unknown, wrote 27 bad checks on one account alone, totaling $1,716.76. Shawver told The Nugget that victims must come forward in order for police to build a case against Kristel.

Two Sisters merchants have already reported bad checks from Kristel.

Shawver said that anyone holding a check from Kristel should contact the Sisters Police Department at 549-2302.
