NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - A Bloomfield man who authorities said was printing bogus checks at his home has been convicted.
A jury in Essex County on Wednesday convicted Woody Armand of forgery, trafficking in personal information and drug and weapons offenses.
Authorities allegedly found more than 1,000 blank checks and printing equipment in the 44-year-old’s apartment as well as multiple debit cards belonging to other people.
They also found heroin, oxycodone and a handgun.
The jury deliberated for three days after a three-day trial.
Armand has eight prior felony convictions and faces up to 30 years in prison with no parole for 10 years when he’s sentenced next month.
