Harlan County Man Charged With Counterfeiting
KENTUCKY....
Thomas J. Holden, 27, of Evarts, in Harlan County, was arrested Sunday after Kentucky State Police say they executed a search warrant at his home and found several fraudulently obtained credit cards and a box of blank checks. The blank checks were being used in a home printer for counterfeiting purposes and were passed off to multiple businesses. The investigation stemmed from a complaint received from the Harlan County Court House, where police say Holden paid a traffic fine with one of the counterfeit checks. Holden is charged with second-degree forgery, with other charges pending.
