The Montgomery Police Department has identified and arrested the suspect involved in a felony theft and criminal possession of a forged instrument case.
On May 31, 2023, Montgomery Police Investigators released a photo of an unknown female wanted for theft of property 1st degree and criminal possession of a forged instrument 1st degree. The offense occurred, on Friday, March 31, 2023, in the 2300 block of Taylor Road, Montgomery, Alabama. The suspect received cash that exceeded $2,500.00 in value, by means of fraud.
Investigators say as the result of multiple CrimeStoppers tips the suspect has been identified as Rhashema Shante Deramus Shackleford, 34, of Montgomery, AL.
After being identified, investigators signed an active warrant on Shakleford for criminal possession of a forged instrument 1st degree. Investigators say this is an active Federal investigation and the investigation is ongoing, additional charges are possible.
Investigators credit CrimeStoppers, the media, and most importantly the public with helping get the word out on this investigation, which ultimately led to identifying Shakleford. Shackleford was well aware of the social media and news media attention and quickly turned herself over to law enforcement on Thursday, June 15, 2023, after her active warrants were made public.
This is an ongoing investigation and investigators ask anyone with information regarding Shackleford’s case to please immediately notify law enforcement or CrimeStoppers.
