San Angelo Realtor Indicted for Forgery and Credit Card Abuse

SAN ANGELO— A San Angelo realtor was indicted by a Tom Green County grand jury in January on charges of using a man’s bank card and forging checks.

Fallon Allison was indicted by a Tom Green County grand jury on two counts of forgery and one count of credit or debit card abuse. She was associated with Keller Williams Realty at the time of the alleged crime and her real estate license is currently inactive.

According to court documents, on December 2, 2022, a San Angelo police officer responded to the 2500 block of Lakeside Avenue in reference or a forgery. The victim reported that Allison had stolen several business checks from his residence. The victim further stated that Allison was his realtor and that she had forged his information on his business checks and had cashed them.

The officer was provided copies of the checks and met with Allison at her residence. She told the officer that the victim had signed the checks and given them to her to fill out later for services rendered at the Lakeside residence.

The following checks were allegedly forged by Allison:

• $2,500 from the San Angelo Banking Center on November 15, 2022
• $800 from the San Angelo Banking Center on November 25, 2022

A check for $2,000 from the San Angelo Banking Center was attempted to be cashed but there were insufficient funds in the account.

Investigators were contacted and responded to the 2300 block of West Concho Avenue. The officer provided the check copies that had allegedly been filled out by Allison and prior checks that were signed by the victim showing his true signature.

Allison was Mirandized and agreed to speak with the investigator. Allison allegedly admitted to writing all the information on the business checks except the signatures. She also advised the victim had signed the blank checks and given them to her for the work she did at the Lakeside residence.

Investigators pointed out the differences between the true signatures and the signatures on the forged checks.

The victim denied authorizing nor signing any check that allowed Allison to take, complete, or execute any of his business checks. Also, the victim pointed out that the checks were business checks and that had a check been written, it would have been taken from a personal bank account. The victim also stated that Allison did not do any work around the residence that would justify the unauthorized amount cashed by the defendant.

When asked how Allison would obtain business checks, the victim stated that he had hired her as a realtor and his residence has a realtor lock box on the front door and Allison had a key to the residence.

Also, the victim said Allison had utilized his Sonora Bank debit card to pay her ATMOS Energy bill twice without his consent. The victim provided his Sonora Bank bank statement showing two unauthorized online transactions made on November 8th, 2022, and November 23rd, 2022, for ATMOS ENERGY WEB. Those payments showed amounts of $156.90 and $82.50 respectively and both showed the same ATMOS Energy account.

On December 21, 2022, investigators obtained ATMOS Energy records for the account that showed the account belong to Fallon Allison whose residence was on the 2300 block of West Concho Avenue. The records also showed the above two listed transactions and amounts with a day processing difference.

Allison was arrested for credit or debit card abuse and forgery on December 27, 2022 and released the next day on $30,000 bond.
