On December 15, 2020, Graciela Jimenez was arrested on suspicion of forgery, use or possession of an altered or forged ID card, and concealing identity. Officers had been dispatched to First New Mexico Bank for reports of an in-progress bank fraud.
From the report of Detective Frank Torres, lightly edited for clarity:
On the morning of December 15, 2020, I responded to First New Mexico Bank located at 3000 E. Lohman Street in reference to a call out on a forgery in progress. On arrival, I contacted Officers Dominguez and Mendez who briefed me on the incident, it should be noted that Officer Dominguez had stopped a white Chevrolet Impala bearing a Texas temporary tag, that was involved in passing a forged check at the bank.
After getting briefed, I briefly contacted the female driver and male passenger of the Impala briefly. The female, who was wearing a face mask, identified herself as Evelyn Delgado. I then went to the bank and spoke to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Julie Koenig who told me that numerous forged checks on the account of American Solar Group had been passed at various branches, to include the check that had just been passed by the female in the Impala. I also spoke briefly to another bank employee, Riley Binder, who was the teller who accepted the check. These interviews were video recorded. Koenig also provided me with numerous documents to include copies of the forged checks. I then went back to the location of the stop and spoke to the passenger identified as Miguel Angel Rodarte and he identified the driver as his mother, Graciela Jimenez.
A copy of one of the forged checks was in Rodarte’s name, and had been cashed at the Anthony, New Mexico branch. Both individuals were detained and taken to the police department for further investigation. While enroute to the station I spoke to Mark Hernandez, the owner of American Solar Group, who confirmed that the checks being passed on his business account were forgeries.
At the police department I obtained a photo and driver’s license printout for Graciela Jimenez and I observed that the photo did not match the photo or identification which was in the name of Evelyn Delgado, which Jimenez had used when she passed the check at the bank. I then spoke to Rodarte after he waived his Miranda rights and agreed to give a statement. I then spoke to Jimenez, who agreed to speak to me after she waived her Miranda rights.
Jimenez continued to identify herself as Evelyn Delgado until I confronted her with her photo from her driver’s license at which time she became aware that I knew who she was. During the interview, Jimenez gave written consent for a search of her vehicle and she was transported back to the location of the stop to be present during the search. The search produced documents as well as a laptop. Jimenez stated that she used the laptop to create forged documents, a skill she learned while incarcerated. I then went back to the station where I filed a complaint charging Jimenez with forgery, concealing identity, and using a fictitious license.

silence the ladys cell number yikes
Great to full video from capture to resolution
When are people going to learn it's not 1980 anymore..these checks can't be passed long, they get picked up by the system, although she was pretty good at it.
Closed down pier one vibes
What's the opening song you use? I absolutely love it, I would love to be able to listen to the whole thing
what a dude, betrayed his own mother
I love how these mask saved the world!!!!
Give this officer a raise
People keep forgetting the golden rule- Don’t lie, cheat, or steal. Put her ass in jail. We all work for a living. She thinks she is exempt from working.
If only my mum and dad had fixed those squeaky for boards when I was a child, I would have been able to get away with everything!!! It was a grand lesson well learned.
at 40:00 talking to the dude doesn't count since he didn't marandized him
Detective "Is he Hispanic?" – 😂🤣
I wrote a couple bad checks for a few cartons of cigarettes when I was in my early 20s, and it messed me up for YEARS. I couldn't get a bank account for three years, and even when I did it was with a small bank and as basic as could be. I also got my truck repossessed around the same time.
It was rock bottom for sure.
I've fully recovered, but… I won't ever forget the feeling.
And what was the outcome? She probably goy 60 days in jail.
Court records show Ms Jimenez signed the Consent to Search form Evelyn Delagdo.
@ 46:20 So if detective Torres failed the Covid19 questionnaire and temp check, does that mean he wouldn't be allowed to investigate the crime at the bank? I'm not an anti-masker by any means, but this just seemed silly. We have come along way since 2020.
Funniest thing about this video and comments is the misspelling of "CHECK"
The proper way to spell it is "CHEQUE"
Lmao
3 hour vid for some forgery bs, no thank you!
They actually came back to the bank to try again a 2nd time after the 1st attempt failed 🤣🤦â€â™‚ï¸
desperation-level brokeness
Sorry Mom got involved with her son again. Sad. I am sure this stuff ruins lives.
I use ADP. This is scary!! Thank you to the police, detectives, bankers, ect. that are putting a stop to this crap!
What's with that mask?
Why do liars NOT realize that we can all (honest people) tell they're lying? <rhetorical question> ðŸ˜
Gus Fring wannabees cashing fake checks?
So if they would only create not whole amounts on checks but some random $695 and 18 cents then the owner wouldn't red flag it for a while I guess
I need captions please 🙁
Once they moved into interrogation room audio was horrible.
No closed caption available.
But this was interesting.
ðŸ‘🌊🎣⛵💯
Bro folded and snitched on his fake mom
You can make money so many different ways, on the internet alone… why anybody would take this amount of risk to lie cheat and steal just blows my mind… And it’s her son… smh
I'm glad that this female is going to serve time and the fact that he found more banks invallved in her sceam but now she'll have time to reflect on what she did
The thumbnail looks like Brie Larson. I thought it was going to be her. Too bad. Would have been hilarious if Captain Marvel was forging checks.
wow great job cops and giving them FREE food and able to get their fingerprint without a warrant if that correct
What's your name?..Huh? How old are you?.. umm, what? Definite telltale signs of a shady dishonest liar.
Those high account fees and low savings interest rates the customers face from their banks and credit cards are what help fund the criminals actions. Customers usually are not held responsible for the charges on cards, but in a round-a-bout way we all pay. The criminals get away with most of their crimes. This was a great video! ðŸðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸ðŸŽ’
Wow even forging her own driver's license…
This has happened to my company on a couple of occasions. A forger had printed up checks with the correct account number and company name, but used a bogus address. The cashier and branch manager determined that the check numbers were out-of-sequence from anything recently cashed or deposited and called our business office to verify. The forger was taken into custody by the off-duty officer providing security at the bank.
Scammers are worse than SCUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please edit out the teller's personal information (around 54 mins in)
Shes not from this country theres your answer why are people still wearing mask????😑
“Nice to meet you! What do you do for a living?â€
“cRiMe.â€
The tellers number should really be edited out. Probably a mistake!
What do they think they're fucking digital banditos
Ironic how Mark Hernandez himself would later be investigated for fraud.
she keeps cutting off the detective when he tries to ask questions. so irritating, I would've freaked out lol.
🤣🤣🤣🤣I guess this business owner picked up a couple of bad habits from "Evelyn Delgado"
-Mark Hernandez, 43, owner of two now-defunct businesses, American Solar Group, and American Roofing Pros, is accused of breach of contract and forgery, according to court records.
In one civil court case, Hernandez is accused of using a man’s electronic signature, without his permission, to get a $100,000 loan for a work contract.
A judge has issued a criminal arrest warrant for an El Paso businessman accused of deceptive business practices while various lawsuits of similar nature against him lay dormant in civil court.
It's satisfying to see these people getting locked up, most of us are out here working hard for for enough to survive yet these greedy and lazy people think it's ok to do no work and steal someone else's money. They are very annoying, I'll happily pay my taxes to fund their stay in prison, hopefully it's a long stay in prison.
