Investigators reviewed bank records and surveillance footage and identified the suspects as Shelden Stevens, 38, and Cori Buckman Jr., 25, police said.
Both Stevens and Buckman were arrested Tuesday with assistance from the Brighton Police Department, according to state police. They’re charged with second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument.
