COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho (AP) - A northern Idaho man who created counterfeit $50 bills using a computer printer has been sentenced to a year in jail and three months home confinement.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office says 51-year-old Daniel Keith Snyder of Hope also on Monday in federal court was ordered to pay $1,150 in restitution and have three years of supervised release.
Officials say Snyder admitted to making the fake bills in late 2015 and early 2016 and using them at businesses in Sandpoint and Ponderay.
Authorities say he passed 46 of the notes before being apprehended in January. In July he pleaded guilty to 46 counterfeiting charges.
