Money doesn't grow on trees, but it apparently was being printed in a Hall County man's home.
Ronald Lindsey Bafile, 29, printed phony $20 and $50 bills using a color copier and printer, The Gainesville Times reported. But when he then sold $1,500 of counterfeit money to undercover officers for $300, Bafile was arrested.
A search of Bafile's residence in the 200 block of First Street turned up another $1,500 in counterfeit $20 bills along with a printer, printing paper and small amounts of marijuana and methamphetamine, police said.
Bafile now faces 71 counts of first-degree forgery and 119 counts of second-degree forgery and drug charges, police told the newspaper.
