SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) – A southern Missouri man was sentenced to 21/2 years in
prison without parole for a counterfeiting $100 bills that he used at businesses
across the country.
Federal prosecutors say 56-year-old Stuart Thurber, of Mountain View, also was
ordered Tuesday to pay $9,000 in restitution to businesses in Mountain View,
Springfield and West Plains, Missouri, and to businesses in Nevada and
California.
Thurber, who lived in his pickup and travel trailer, was arrested in April
2016 in Mountain View for passing counterfeit $100 bills.
Officers found computers, hard drives and printers inside the truck and travel
trailer parked at a Wal-Mart parking lot. Thurber admitted he removed ink from
genuine bills and used his electronics to create counterfeit bills, which he
used at businesses across the U.S.
