Attempted movie money circulation

TORONTO — A Steubenville man was charged with counterfeiting after using fake $20 bills produced for films to make purchases at multiple local businesses.

Jadin M. Shackleford, 18, of Building 1, 947 Sherman Ave., was sentenced in Toronto County Court to six months’ probation and ordered to pay $100 in restitution for the misdemeanor offense.

Police said Shackleford had purchased the film props online and used it to make purchases at a few businesses before one discovered it was fake.

City Police Chief Charley Daniels said the phony money bears a statement that it’s for film use only.

He said Shackleford was identified through images captured by video cameras at the businesses.
