Statesboro police arrested a Sylvania woman on Friday who has a history of passing fraudulent checks and with identity theft, charging her again with two counts of passing fictitious checks at local grocery stores. Statesboro police Sgt. Jake Saxon said Monday that the woman, Brandy Marie Barbee, 38, of Halcyondale Road in Sylvania, passed fraudulent checks at Food World stores on Fair Road and Northside Drive West recently, leading to her arrest on two counts of "printing, executing or negotiating checks or drafts knowing information is in error or fictitious." In 2012, Barbee was convicted on similar charges and served federal time in prison, according to Bulloch County sheriff's Chief Deputy Jared Akins.
