Rockmart, GA (FOX 5) – Police said Monday that they arrested a woman wanted in four states for a check-writing scam. Investigators had to sort out some confusion about the woman’s true identity because the woman by the name of Hassani Norword, used to be a man named Stefon Thomas.

Eyewitnesses gave conflicting accounts about the woman.

“Some of the people we interviewed said it was more like a male than a female,” said Captain Mark Westbrook of the Rockmart Police Department.
