Anniston police were investigating this morning a forged check for more than $1,000 cashed at a local credit union Tuesday afternoon. Anniston police Capt. Allen George said a suspect cashed a check for $1,675 from a physician’s office in Gadsden at the Alabama Teachers Credit Union on U.S. 431. The check was cashed Tuesday between at around 3 p.m., according to a police report. George said the doctor’s office later called the credit union and told them the check was forged. The doctor’s office told police that a check was never written to the suspect, George said, and that the suspect does not work at the office. George said police were reviewing the credit union’s surveillance today. A suspect could be charged with felony second-degree possession of a forged instrument.

HOT BLAST: Getting on track for bike tourism

One of Anniston's big cycling dreams is for bicycle tourists to take advantage of the city's Amtrak stop, either to enjoy the Ladiga Trail or ride Coldwater Mountain.

The problem is only a few Amtrak routes allow passengers to bring their bicycles on board unless they are boxed up like luggage.

This report, however, finds "Amtrak is seeing increased demand for walk-on bike service across the United States."

The good news for Anniston and bike tourism is, "Steve Kulm, a spokesman for Amtrak, said the agency is looking for opportunities to retrofit train cars to allow more convenient bike transport."
