A Batavia man is facing 42 counts of criminal possession of a forged instrument after members of the Local Drug Enforcement Task Force searched his residence on Spencer Court and allegedly found forged U.S. currency with a face value of $940.
Taken into custody and jailed with no bail is Lendle R. Tucker, 28.
Also seized on Friday were Tucker's computer and printers.
He was also allegedly found in possession of marijuana, and so charged with one count of unlawful possession of marijuana.
The arrest of Lendle reportedly follows an investigation by the task force into the production and possession of forged U.S currency.
Lendle was allegedly found in possession of forged currency in various denominations.
The investigation is continuing and further arrests are possible.
Assisting in the investigation were Le Roy Police, Batavia Police, the District Attorney's Office and Orleans County Major Crimes Task Force.
