Nathaniel Ray Thompson

On April 28, 2026, officers were dispatched to Premier Bank, located at [address omitted] North, Hugo, Washington County, Minnesota, on reports of a forged check. Officers received information from the bank teller that NATHANIAL RAY THOMPSON, [DOB redacted], had just offered a forged check and was still inside the bank building. The teller gave officers a description of Thompson's clothing. Upon arrival, officers located Thompson walking in the bank parking lot. Officers detained Thompson while interviewing the bank teller.

The teller stated that Thompson said he was in a hurry to Regions Hospital to visit his brother. Thompson presented a check for $1,779.11 from Hoglund Body and Equipment out of Monticello, Minnesota. After taking Thompson's driver's license and cashing the check, the teller called Hoglund Body and Equipment, who stated that they had no record of a check issued to Thompson. In a post-Miranda interview, Thompson stated that he met a man named Darren in St. Paul who told him that he would give Thompson $20 dollars if Thompson cashed a check and gave him the money.

Thompson is in custody.
