ALFRED, Maine - A Lebanon man faces jail time after his indictment in a fraudulent check-cashing incident last fall.

Stephen Holtby, 52, of 24 Van Veen Drive, is charged with negotiating a fraudulent check in the amount of between $1,000 and $10,000 on Sept. 24.

The Class C felony carries a prison term of up to five years.

Court records show Holtby was convicted of a similar offense in 2003.

A York Count grand jury handed down the indictment earlier this month.

An indictment is not an indication of guilt, only that enough evidence has been presented to warrant a trial.
