The indictment alleges that Bishop stole a woman’s identity and had the counterfeit checks in his possession between Jan. 15 and Feb. 8.

Bishop was convicted in 2003 of theft by unlawful taking and sentenced to five years in prison. He also was handed a five-year prison sentence after a 2002 conviction for first-degree fleeing or evading police.

Warren Circuit Judge John Grise set Bishop’s bond in this case at $7,500.
