An arrest warrant for Tony Lee Head alleges that, between March 31 and April 2, he passed a forged check to Brookshire’s that said it was from Integrity Turf Management or Integrity Tree Care & Landscape.
According to Head’s arrest affidavit, the company did not authorize that check or any of $46,161 in forged checks addressed to Tony Lee Head, Jessica Carmon Henderson, Dale Forbus Reynolds, Howard Bowen, Kevin Ray Eddins and Lizabeth Marie Arnold.
A Tyler PD detective who was investigating the check forgery case said the case started when Henderson was employed by Integrity Turf Management (ITM) as an accountant for about a month. Henderson reportedly was given access to the business’s Intuit QuickBooks and all of their financials.
She also reportedly had a business laptop, printer, records and boxes of blank ITM, Integrity Tree Care & Landscape and ITM payroll checks which she kept after being fired in July of 2023.
ITM reportedly started noticing banking irregularities around the end of 2023. Tyler PD was then contacted about forged checks and a police report was filed. Reynolds was then arrested for burglary of a building and engaging in organized criminal activity by Smith County Sheriff’s Office.
Henderson reportedly bailed Reynolds out with a forged check for $6,000 to Strike 3 Bail Bonds on April 2. Another suspect in the case, Eddins, was also arrested for burglary of a building and engaging in organized criminal activity and gave an interview where he reportedly admitted to knowing about and executing the criminal activity coordinated by Henderson and Reynolds.
