Police charge 2 with making fake money

BELLAIRE — Authorities charged two men who they believe made and spent fake $100 bills.

Bradley Michael Smith, of Leroy, and Eric Allen Carson, of East Jordan, both 36, each are charged with counterfeiting-possession of counterfeit money and conspiracy to commit counterfeiting. Michigan State Police arrested them last week. The charges carry a maximum 10-year prison term.

Police believe the men made and spent the fake bills at several Antrim County businesses before they eventually were caught.
