W.Va. man convicted of passing bogus $50
Criminal Law
A West Virginia man who passed a counterfeit $50 bill at a livestock market in Roane County has been convicted in a counterfeit money scheme.
The government says a federal jury in Charleston convicted 36-year-old Roger L. Atkinson II on Thursday of knowingly conspiring to possess, manufacture and pass counterfeit currency.
Prosecutors said the Spencer man conspired with Lawrence E. Holbrook in the scheme, which helped support their drug habits. Holbrook pleaded guilty earlier for his role.
