UPDATE: Second of three suspects arrested in Buford 'movie money' case

The second of three suspects wanted for passing fake "movie set" money at a Buford Wal-mart has turned herself in to police.

Melissa A. Sinquefield, 30, of Buford was arrested shortly before 10 a.m. Thursday on charges of first degree forgery and theft by deception, Gwinnett Police Cpl. Michele Pihera said in an email update.

Sinquefield and Travis B Taylor, 36, of Blakely, Ga. are accused of spending approximately $1,000 in fake bills for lawn equipment at the Wal-mart store on Sardis Church Road.

The cashier who accepted the bills, Jocelyn Gerstenlauer, 19, of Auburn, has also turned herself in to police, and has since bonded out of jail.

Taylor remains at large, and authorities believe he may have fled the metro-Atlanta area.

He's wanted for a similar crime in Early County, said Pihera.
