Three arrested in counterfeit money case
Three suspects have been arrested in connection with a counterfeiting operation in Bowie.
Lt. Rick Beckham said Bowie Police ran a search warrant on a residence 806 Baccus at 9:20 p.m. Jan. 2, where the suspects were arrested.
Investigation of what was believed to be fake $100 bills began earlier last week when a bill was passed at a local fast-foot location. The investigation lead to three suspects being arrested when a search warrant was executed on Baccus Street the night of Jan. 1. Arrested were Brandon Parker, Justin Guffey and Meagan Guffey, who have each been charged with forgery of a financial instrument. Bond of $250,000 was set on each one and as of Tuesday they remained in the county jail. Read the full story in the mid-week News.
