Deputies are looking for a forgery suspect who told them, "Find me."

A Sonoma County Sheriff's Department spokesman said Daryl Albert Hawkins, 47, of Boyes Hot Springs used his computer to create three fraudulent checks in the amounts of $850, $855 and $800, and cashed two of them at Andy's Liquors and one at the Boyes Food Center. But Hawkins also used his own name as the payee. After the clerk picked Hawkins out of a photo line up on Monday, July 28, deputies got a search warrant and reportedly found evidence of his check printing escapades on his computer. Deputies then called Hawkins and asked him to come in for a chat, and that's when he told them to "Find me." Hawkins, who also goes by the aliases of Scott Fuller and Dale Hawkins, faces three counts of burglary, three counts of forgery, three counts of passing fictitious notes and three counts of possessing forged documents. Anyone who has any information on Hawkins' whereabouts, is asked to call 565-2121.
