Deputies said they received a report on April 11 that checks issued by the school district were stolen from the mail and then deposited by an unknown subject or subjects.

Kevonte Keosodsay, 22, was identified by detectives from the Marin County Sheriff's Office for allegedly depositing stolen checks.
