Officer Bruce Green Arrested for Making Fake Money

RALEIGH

A Holly Springs police officer is free on bond after his arrest on charges of manufacturing phony money.

Records filed with the City-County Bureau of Identification in Wake County show 27-year-old Bruce Renard Green is charged with one count each of uttering a forged instrument, forgery of notes, checks and other securities, and felony obtaining property by false pretenses.

A spokeswoman for CCBI told The News & Observer of Raleigh that Green was picked up for questioning around 8 p.m. Monday and arrested about 90 minutes later. He was released under a $10,000 unsecured bond.

His arrest followed a joint investigation by local and federal authorities.

A town spokesman said Green, who started with Holly Springs police in April, 2006, resigned from the force on Tuesday.
