COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) — A 36-year-old Columbus man faces trial in Platte County District Court, accused of counterfeiting $20 bills.

Online court records say Brian Dieter is charged with 15 counts of forgery and one of being a habitual criminal. His attorney didn’t immediately return a call Friday from The Associated Press, seeking comment on the case.

Court documents say surveillance video showed Dieter exchanging the counterfeit bills on Feb. 8 with a convenience store clerk who was Dieter’s girlfriend at the time. She’s been charged with aiding Dieter.
