Two people have been arrested for using counterfeit money to pay for purchases they made at a local business. Thirty-eight-year-old Kenny Joe Jinkins and 33-year-old Keisha Eva Jinkins are in the Baxter County Detention Center, each charged with three counts of forgery and one misdemeanor count of theft. Kenny Joe Jinkins is shown in court documents as being from Little Rock, but electronic jail records list him as being from Gassville. Court records show Keisha Eva Jinkins’ address is in Gamaliel, but electronic jail records indicate she is from Lamar.
According to the probable cause affidavits in the case, four fake $20 bills were passed at the Dollar General store in Gassville May 16. The two allegedly went back to the store and used three more counterfeit $20s the following day.
Keisha Jinkins told an investigator a woman gave them the money to make a purchase for her but neither of the Jinkins could provide proof of that.
Bond is set at $3,500 each.
