When Charlotte Krantz was accused of writing two bad checks worth more than $1800, prosecutors say she blamed it on a bank error and manufactured fake documents to avoid responsibility.

Instead of showing up for a court hearing, they say she presented a medical excuse that was also forged.

On Tuesday, Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Jill Deegan called her a con-artist in court.

"So it just seems we're seeing a pattern of behavior here where she's trying to make information fit what she wants it to fit, and it's not truthful," Deegan said in an interview with WDBJ7.

We first heard about Krantz in May after veterans who were working with her began expressing concerns.

A Botetourt County investigator says he has talked with approximately 80 veterans who say Krantz agreed to help them file disability claims with the Department of Veterans Affairs, but never followed through.

Investigators say she didn't accept any money from veterans or the government, so it's unlikely she will face any additional charges.

During Tuesday's hearing, Krantz's attorney said she had done a lot of good things to help a lot of good people.

Krantz said she was "truly remorseful," and told the judge, "I like to think I'm an outstanding citizen."

She's been in jail for the last few months on the bad check charges, and the judge is giving her credit for the time she's served, but it appears she will remain in the Botetourt County jail a while longer.
