Madison man charged with counterfeit bills

A Madison man was arrested by the Central Kentucky Area Drug Task Force after admitting he passed $800 in counterfeit bills.

Donnie Kindred, 28, of Morrow Drive, was charged with criminal possession of a forged instrument for eight $100 bills he was suspected of passing to two victims, said Rick Johnson, CKADTF director. The alleged crime was discovered when task force officers served Kindred with a Kentucky State Police arrest warrant for theft by unlawful taking.

“During an interview after his arrest, Kindred admitted passing counterfeit $100 bills in the Richmond area,” Johnson said. “Kindred also admitted that he knew that the bills were counterfeit.”

Kindred told police that the bills had been given to him, Johnson said. Through a search of Kindred after he was arrested, police located a device used to “reduce pills into powder” in his pocket, Johnson said.

Kindred also was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia for the instrument. He is lodged in the Madison County Detention Center on a $5,000 cash bond.

CKADTF is an entity of the Madison County Sheriff’s Department. Anyone with information about drugs can call 623-7867 anonymously or visit the task force Web site at www.CKADTF.com.

In other MCSO news, more than $3,500 worth of aluminum walk boards used for scaffolding were recovered after a Richmond man tried to sell them to an employee with the same company he allegedly stole them from.

Richard Garza and Tommy Johnston, both of Richmond, were arrested Aug. 31 and charged with receiving stolen property. According to a press release, Garza approached an employee of McIntosh Masonry at his home and tried to sell him the aluminum boards. The employee recognized the number on his boards as the same number used on boards belonging to his employer, Eddie McIntosh, said MCSO Detective Bruce Thomas.

“The boards were later discovered to be stolen from the Kingston View Subdivision area where the McIntosh Masonry crew were working,” the press release states.

After the employee turned Garza away, Garza later sold the boards to a Crab Orchard man where the boards were recovered. Both Garza and Johnston were lodged in the Madison County Detention Center and have since been released on $2,500 unsecured bonds.
