On August 1, 2025, Bloomington Police Officers responded to a check forgery report at Alliance Wellness Center, [ADDRESS REDACTED] South, Bloomington, Hennepin County. The housing director and coordinator for Alliance Wellness Center, F. A., reported that ABDULFATAH FARAH AHMED, Defendant herein, was a client at Alliance Wellness receiving housing help through their program. Alliance Wellness assisted the Defendant in finding housing located in Minneapolis. The Defendant was given a check from Alliance Wellness Center staff for the deposit on housing arranged for the Defendant in the amount of $1,690.00 made out to First Class Residential Properties on July 10, 2025. F. A. Reported that the Defendant did not give the check to its intended recipient but instead cashed the same check several times and into his own bank account.
Officers spoke with the Defendant on December 9, 2025. The Defendant denied cashing the check into his own account and stated that the Landlord of First Class Residential Properties tried to extort him by giving him a lease to one property, but attempted to put him in another lower quality apartment. When confronted with the checks being deposited into his own account he stated he had bills and did not have money. A search warrant for the Defendant's bank accounts at Huntington Bank showed the following: July 21, 2025, the Defendant mobile deposited the check at an ATM for $1,690.00 into account ending in 8163. On July 29, 2025, the Defendant mobile deposited the check for $690.00 into account ending in 1824. On July 29, 2025, the Defendant mobile deposited the check for $1,000.00 into account ending in 1824. On August 11, 2025, the Defendant mobile deposited the check for $590.00 into account ending in 3502. On August 11, 2025, the Defendant mobile deposited the check for $190.00 into account ending in 3502. The checks showed "Pay to the order of" on the endorsement line and a signature that appeared to be Defendant's. All were deposited into the Defendant's bank account.
In total, the Defendant forged and fraudulently deposited $4,160.00 into his Huntington Bank accounts. The Defendant is currently out of custody. The Defendant was on probation when this offense occurred, and his criminal history appears to make this a presumed commit to the Department of Corrections. The State, is therefore, requesting this complaint issue by warrant.
