Bonds’ charges stem from an August 2015 investigation in which a local business sold a $650 money order to a woman who paid with counterfeit currency, according to Deputy Chief Scott Custer.

Officers identified a male who later tried to cash the money order, the woman who had purchased the money order, and Bonds, the reported source of the counterfeit currency.

Bonds was later released on $45,000 court-set surety bond. He is scheduled to appear at Manchester Superior Court on Dec. 3.
