WESTPORT — A 35-year-old woman is accused of writing fraudulent checks drawn from a bank account overseen by a conservator for a Westport resident.

Makeba Johnson, of Bridgeport, was charged with first-degree larceny, conspiracy to commit first-degree larceny, first-degree forgery and conspiracy to commit first-degree forgery.

A complaint filed with police last June 9 alleged that “multiple” checks had been written against a resident’s bank account overseen by a conservator.

The conservator reported that he had not written any of the checks and did not recognize the name of the payee, according to the report.

The checks were apparently deposited into another bank account and then withdrawn by the suspect.

The detective investigating the complaint later learned that a debit card linked to the illicit account was used to register a business with the state, police said.

The managing member of the company was listed as Makeba Johnson, according to the report. After additional evidence tied Johnson to the scheme, a warrant for her arrest was issued.

Johnson turned herself in May 19 at Police Department headquarters. She was released after posting $150,000 bond and is scheduled to be arraigned on the charges June 2 at state Superior Court in Stamford.
