Convicted Felon From Mexico Arrested Again on Felony Theft Charges

RUMFORD, ME — On Thursday, the Rumford Police Department arrested Rex Allen Call, Jr., 40, of Mexico, Maine on charges of Felony Negotiating a Worthless Instrument and Felony Theft by Deception following an investigation into a fraudulent $6,000 check deposit.

The charges stem from an incident in which Call allegedly deposited a $6,000 check into his personal bank account at a Rumford bank, despite knowing the check had been canceled by the individual who originally wrote it. The check had been issued by another Mexico resident for promised work that was never performed. After learning the check was being canceled, Call allegedly deposited it anyway and withdrew the funds before the bank identified the fraud.

This is not the first time Call has faced similar accusations. Call has an extensive criminal history involving more than 20 prior convictions across multiple Maine counties, including misdemeanor and felony-level Negotiating a Worthless Instrument, Forgery, Misuse of Identification, and Burglary of a Motor Vehicle crimes. His criminal conduct has previously resulted in both county jail and Maine State Prison sentences.

Call has also been convicted on multiple occasions of bail violations, probation violations, and failure to appear, and he has been court-ordered to pay restitution to prior victims totaling nearly $16,000.00 in those cases.

Call was released on bail following his arrest and is scheduled to appear for arraignment on February 12, 2026 at 1:00 PM at the Unified Criminal Docket in South Paris.

The Rumford Police Department reminds the public that all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
