In an apparent

first for Peachtree City, police are looking for a Union City man who

has posed as a woman while writing over $11,000 in fake checks to stores

in the city.

The suspect

has been identified as Damian Anthony Mills, 32, who would sometimes wear

a dress or wig while writing phony checks with others account numbers

printed on them, according to police. Mills struck several retail stores

in the city, police said.

Mills faces

eight local arrest warrants for forgery in the first degree and financial

identity fraud; police said additional charges are expected.

"We have

really good pictures of him in the store," from the video surveillance

system, said Police Chief James Murray. "We have really good evidence

on him."

Mills appeared

to have a liking for nice and expensive female underwear judging by the

fraudulent purchases he made, Murray said.

Mills would

use a number of female identities while writing the phony checks, including

Chyna Blalock, Olivia Mills, Latrice Crosby, Wanda Palmer and Thia Robinson,

Murray said.

Peachtree City

detectives have been working the case with others from Atlanta, Fulton

County and Cobb County. Other jurisdictions also have warrants out for

Mills, Murray said.

Anyone with

information on Mills' whereabouts is asked to contact police at 770-631-2510.

"He'll

be arrested very shortly," Murray said, indicating that although

Mills moves frequently, detectives have a good idea of his whereabouts.
