Detectives in Marathon began investigating complaints of checks being intercepted and fraudulently deposited before reaching their intended recipients on Nov.20, Linhardt said.

Authorities said this led investigators to Martinez who confessed to making the illegal deposits.

The investigation is ongoing and additional charges are pending.
