FAYETTEVILLE — Three Arkansas basketball players were arrested Wednesday in connection with felony forgery.
Anton Beard, Jacorey Williams and Dustin Thomas are being held at the Washington County jail without bail. Beard and Williams were booked just before 2 p.m. Wednesday, while Thomas was booked at 3:18 p.m.
The arrests stem from a two-month investigation into counterfeit money. According to an arrest report, all three were caught by surveillance cameras while using counterfeit bills at three different locations in Fayetteville last Friday and Saturday.
Beard and Thomas bought tobacco with counterfeit $20 bills, according to the report.
