LINCOLNTON – James David Aelick and Thomas Bielefeldt, both of Charlotte, were served additional Lincolnton Police warrants at the Harven A. Crouse Detention Center.

Aelick, 51, and Bielefeldt, 37, were charged by Detective Chuck McGinley on two felony counts of obtaining property by false pretenses.

Both are accused of cashing a fraudulent check at the Boger City Food Lion back on June 23. After cashing the check, supposedly written on an account belonging to Denver Construction Company, the manager eventually made contact with the business, who told the manager the checks were bad.

Aelick and Bielefeldt have been jailed since June 24 on forgery and uttering charges. They were both being held without bond on these charges.

Bond on the new charges was set at $25,000 secured each.
