State Police from Oneonta arrested 18 year old Brian Colon of the Bronx and 18 year old Nicole Nunez of Manhattan for Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument. The arrests occurred after an off duty Trooper called and reported that he had possibly received counterfeit ten dollar bills from a man during a sale on Craigslist. The investigation determined that the off duty Trooper was selling four tire rims on Craigslist and agreed to meet Colon in Oneonta to complete the transaction, Police accuse Colon of paying the Trooper with 70 counterfeit ten dollar bills, and that Nunez had also knowingly possessed several counterfeit ten dollar bills. Colon and Nunez were both arraigned in the Town of Oneonta Court and remanded to the Otsego County Jail in lieu of a $750 cash bail.
