Police said Craig’s charges stem from an August investigation in which a local business sold a $650 money order to Craig, who paid with counterfeit currency.

Officers identified a man who later tried to cash the money order, and Craig who’d purchased the money order. An arrest warrant was later obtained for Craig and was served Friday.

Craig was later released on $45,000 surety bond and is scheduled to appear at Manchester Superior Court on Oct. 15.
