Category: News || By Submitted Report

An Elizabeth Twp. man pleaded guilty in federal court to charges of making and conspiring to make counterfeit U.S. currency, U.S. Attorney David J. Hickton announced today.

Justin S. Holliday, 29, of Penn Vista Street, pleaded guilty to two counts before U.S. District Judge Mark R. Hornak. The alleged crimes occurred in June 2012, Hickton said.

Hornak has scheduled sentencing for Oct. 6. Holliday could face up to 25 years in prison and a $500,000 fine, Hickton said, though the actual sentence will be up to the judge.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Shardul S. Desai is prosecuting the case on behalf of the government. The U.S. Secret Service conducted the investigation that led to Holliday's prosecution.
