A Red Deer man has been charged a second time for having fake greenbacks.

Crowsnest Pass RCMP say they responded on Friday to a report of a suspicious vehicle in the community of Frank.

Police identified the suspect vehicle and located the two individuals associated with it. An investigation turned up that the individuals had used a counterfeit bill at a local retailer. The two occupants were subsequently arrested and a search was conducted on their vehicle and person where a quantity of counterfeit bills were located.

Clayton Wayne Jordan, 37, of Red Deer was charged with:

• Utter counterfeit money

• Possess counterfeit money

• Possession of property obtained by a crime under $5000.00

• Mischief under $5000

• Possession of controlled substance

Police say charges against the second person are being pursued but have not yet been sworn before the courts. Both individuals have been released from custody and are set to appear in Pincher Creek provincial court.

Last week, Jordan was charged along with Brooke McKlusky from Red Deer for allegedly using fake U.S. currency in Nanton, Fort MacLeod and Claresholm.
