‘Elvis’ refused bail over forged US currency

After being charged with two separate offences, a man who told the court that he lives in Venezuela, was yesterday remanded to prison when he appeared before Magistrate Sunil Scarce at the Anna Regina Magistrate’s Court.

Ryan Singh, 25, called ‘Elvis’ pleaded not guilty to the charges of possession of forged currency notes and uttering forged currency notes.

It is the prosecution’s case that on September 21 at 1.05 am, Godfrey Stoll was the bartender at an event that was being held at the Charity Playground when Singh approached and handed Stoll US$100 to change. Stoll suspected the note to be counterfeit and told Singh of the suspicion. Singh reportedly tried to grab the money and run away,
