Malden woman pleads 'not guilty' to Three Rivers Community College transcript forgery

Friday, March 19, 2010
CAPE GIRARDEAU - A Malden woman who allegedly submitted a fake transcript to Southeast Missouri State University in an attempt to gain admission pleaded not guilty to forgery charges Monday before Circuit Court Judge William L. Syler.

Daneille M. Feagin, 22, was charged in February after a Southeast admissions office employee noticed multiple problems on the submitted transcript authorities say was a forgery meant to look like a Three Rivers Community College document.

According to a sworn affidavit, the transcript had altered numbers, a font not typically used on Three Rivers' transcripts, no page numbering and no water mark.

The transcript also showed Feagin had received a 4.0 grade point average and 89 credit hours at Three Rivers, when she had really earned a 2.4 GPA and 37 credits, according to a statement from Marcia Fields, admissions director at community college, included in the afidavit.

Feagin told officers the transcript she sent to Southeast was accurate, even after she was shown a copy of her official Three Rivers transcript.

Recusing himself from the case, Syler transferred Feagin's case to Benjamin F. Lewis' court. His spouse, Syler said, works at Southeast.

Oh! I don't think Feagin is educable after all. Why not just tell her to "go away." Give her an "E" for effort.
