There, police recovered counterfeit money, equipment for making counterfeit documents, stolen documents, and numerous pieces of credit card information.

Keely Edwards, 42, and 28-year-old Tyler Chislett were charged with Uttering Counterfeit Currency, Making Counterfeit Currency, Forgery, Possession of Credit Card Data, and Possession of Government Issued Documents.
