BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - A federal grand jury has indicted two north Alabama men in separate counterfeiting cases.
A U.S. Department of Justice press release Friday said the indictment charges 25-year-old Connor Douglas Glass with making and possessing counterfeit $100 and $20 bills in Cullman and Jackson counties between January and October 2017. The indictment also charges Glass with passing counterfeit bills at three Dollar General Stores.
A separate indictment charges 33-year-old Montrez Chebeir Martin with passing counterfeit $50 bills to individuals in Madison and Morgan counties in September 2017. Martin, a convicted felon, was also charged with possession of a handgun. He was convicted of theft in Iowa in 2014 and assault in Alabama in 2017.
Counterfeiting charges carry a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
