BRYAN COUPLE JAILED FOR FORGERY

  

A Bryan couple has been jailed on four counts of forgery and other charges after authorities say the pair left sheets of counterfeit $20 bills in a trash can at a College Station motel.

39-year-old Robert Casselman and 35-year-old Heather Patterson were arrested after College Station police say a Wal-Mart receipt found in the can was used to link the couple to security tape from the store.

Authorities report that they found nearly $1,000 in phony bills in Patterson's car. Patterson told officers Casselman likely used the fake money to buy items at Waco Wal-Mart stores, then returned the goods to a Bryan store to get real cash refunds.

Patterson is held on $39,000 bond, Casselman on nearly $35,000 bond.
