A person told police that he had several checks cashed against his bank that he did not sign or authorize, police said. An investigation by state police found that Sprague had taken 10 checks from a family member and cashed them, according to police. The 10 forged checks enabled Sprague to unlawfully receive an estimated total of $600 from the victim's bank accounts, police said. 

Sprague was arraigned in Dover Town Court and remanded to the Dutchess County Jail in lieu of $10,000 cash bail or $25,000 bond. He is due to reappear in Dover Town Court at a later date and time.
