Two downstate teens are accused of trying to pay for four tire rims that had been listed on Craigslist by a seller, who just happens to be a New York State Trooper in Oneonta, with counterfeit money.

The off-duty Trooper agreed to meet 18 year old Brian Conlon of the Bronx and 18 year old Nicole Nunez of Manhattan in the parking lot of the Oneonta Walmart.  Investigators alleged Conlon had knowingly paid the seller with 70 counterfeit $10 bills and his girlfriend also knowingly possessed several other fake $10 bills.

The teens were sent to the Otsego County Jail.
