UPDATE: Knox Co. siblings arrested in connection with counterfeit $100 bills passed at Corbin Walmart
Posted On 11 Jan 2016
UPDATE: Two Knox County siblings were arrested Tuesday in connection with the seven counterfeit $100 bills passed at the Corbin Walmart over the weekend.
Laurel County Sheriff’s Deputy Gilbert Acciardo, the department’s public affairs officer, said deputies, working with Barbourville Police went to an apartment on Ruggles Street where they arrested 57-year-old Annette Hammons and 37-year-old Thomas Hammons.
Each was charged with one count of first-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument.
While at the scene, deputies seize a computer and printer they say was used to make the homemade money.
According to Sheriff John Root, the suspects visited the store on two separate occasions Saturday and Sunday, using three of the bills the first time and four on the second occasion.
“We got a call from Walmart Monday that they had seven counterfeit $100 bills,” Acciardo said, noting the individuals purchased a microwave oven and assorted clothing.
Deputies secured video stills of the suspects which were shared with area media and on the department’s Facebook page.
"We received numerous calls and posts on Facebook identifying the suspects," Acciardo said. "Everybody was pointing their fingers at these same people."
Acciardo said the U.S. Secret Service has been notified about the incident.
Under Kentucky Law, the charge is a Class C felony carrying a potential sentence of five to ten years in prison.

Part of me feels bad for them. They needed a microwave for food and clothes for the winter. The other part of me says they’ll get all that in jail.
Can we get the same community involvement to identify and arrest people selling and using drugs? If you see something, say something. People will listen.
let him that is without sin cast the first stone,,,,,I see so called christians putting these people down,,,we need to pray for them and let GOD do the judging…if this offends you,find a alter..
She drives a red PT Cruser I saw her at the gas station the other day the some two people in the picture
She needs to be caught.700 dollars of stolen items was no incident.
If this is Annette, I honestly think someone has taken advantage of her by giving her the fake bills. I just don’t see her being able to produce fake money.I hope they do a thorough investigation.
Why would ppl be rats for telling the truth…that’s why prices keep going up every time we turn around, because of thieves! Hope they catch them!
This definitely looks like Annette hammons to me.she lives in Dixon trailer park and drives a red vehicle.
She’s kind of cute. I’d like to get together with her.
