Hudson -- Police say a 50-year-old Cuyahoga Falls man stole $1,000 from a 63-year-old Hudson man in May by misrepresenting himself as an employee of a construction firm and accepting and cashing a check for construction work.

The Cuyahoga Falls man later returned to the Hudson man's place of work and cashed three bad checks totalling $280 between May 28 and June 7, according to police.

Police located the suspect in Summit County jail, where he was being held on charges from a separate case in Stow, according to a police spokesperson.
