PRESTON, Minn. –An Iowa woman was arraigned on 33 counts of swindling and forgery. Mindy Jo Jones, 41, of Waterloo, Iowa, took $37,000 from her unwitting housemate in Cresco, Iowa, and put the money into her own business and personal accounts at First Southeast Bank in Harmony, according to the criminal complaint. The accounts were in Jones’ name or the names of two vintage-goods stores she owned:
> Tin, Rust and Harmony.
> Shirt Off My Back.
The man told investigators that he neither signed the checks, which were intended for him in his name, nor gave Jones permission to deposit them. Needless to say, hey since have fallen out.
