FAYETTEVILLE -- A third current or former Arkansas Razorbacks basketball player pleaded guilty Thursday to charges related to passing counterfeit money last summer.
Arkansas junior forward Dustin Thomas, a transfer from Colorado who must redshirt this season, pleaded guilty as part of a plea bargain to a misdemeanor charge of possessing an instrument of crime, namely a counterfeit $20 bill, that he knew, or should have known, was fake.
Washington County Circuit Judge Joanna Taylor sentenced Thomas to one year probation and ordered him to pay a $500 fine and assorted court costs. He also was ordered to complete 40 hours of community service and remain on good behavior.
