MCCOOK, Neb. (AP) — A Colorado man who took a plea deal in a counterfeit credit card scheme has been sentenced to jail in Nebraska.
Court records say 40-year-old Michael Anderson, of Loveland, Colorado, was given 360 days during a hearing last month in Red Willow County District Court. He also was ordered to pay nearly $7,000 in restitution to several retailers.
He’d pleaded no contest to unauthorized use of a financial transaction device. Prosecutors lowered the charge in exchange for his plea. Prosecutors say he and a companion had used a counterfeit credit card to make several purchases in McCook.
Companion, Christina Judge, who had been living in Greeley, Colorado, has pleaded not guilty to a similar charge.
