Lyndonville, Vermont - November 18, 2009
Two Northeast Kingdom women are accused of making phony money.
Prosecutors say Carlene Densmore, 29, of Lyndonville, and Karen Zucker, 28, of East Haven, used a copy machine to make fake $10 and $20 bills. They allegedly used them for admission and food at the Caledonia County Fair back in August and at businesses in Lyndonville.
"Any time you have extra people in town, you have extra staff and you may not be quite as careful in taking a look at the bill you are passed for purchase of product and that is a time people who counterfeit money take advantage of the situation," Essex County Prosecutor Vince Illuzzi said.
Both are charged with felony counterfeiting and face up to 14 years in prison. Prosecutors have not ruled out transferring the case to federal court. Densmore and Zucker are also not allowed to possess photocopiers or printers.
