USA v. McCuiston
Kevin Glenn McCuiston, 36, of Moberly, Mo., was charged with possessing counterfeit bills in an indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Jefferson City, Mo.
Today’s indictment alleges that McCuiston was in possession of 49 counterfeit $50 bills on Dec. 6, 2013.
USA v. Busey
Jackie L. Busey, 28, of St. Joseph, Mo., was charged in a two-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Jefferson City, Mo.
Today’s indictment alleges that Busey attempted to pass a counterfeit $50 bill in Boone County, Mo., on Oct. 25, 2012. Busey is also charged with possessing 74 counterfeit $50 bills and 17 counterfeit $100 bills on the same day. Busey was arrested near the Fieldhouse Bar in Columbia, Mo.
These cases are being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Lauren E. Kummerer. They were investigated by the U.S. Secret Service, the Missouri State Highway Patrol and the Columbia, Mo., Police Department.
