Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Lawrence P. McLellan, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Doyle, P.J., and Tabor and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Ahlers, J. (8 pages)
Thomas Patrick Olofson challenges his convictions of forgery based on the claim there was insufficient evidence of one element of the offenses. OPINION HOLDS: We find sufficient evidence supporting the conclusion Olofson made and transferred checks that purported to be the act of another who did not authorize the act. Therefore, the State met its burden of establishing the only element challenged on appeal, and we affirm.
