SYRACUSE, N.Y. - A Georgia man wanted in connection with a counterfeiting scheme in upstate New York was captured after he tried to escape by jumping out a third-story window, authorities said. <br>
<br>
Bryant Heath Penland, 31, of Buford, Ga., was injured when he jumped from the attic of an apartment Monday after being cornered by federal agents and Syracuse police. <br>
<br>
``He took a leap about 90 feet out of a third-story window,'' said Timothy Christine of the Secret Service. ``His injuries were deemed not life-threatening.'' <br>
<br>
Authorities believed Penland was in charge of printing phony money in a counterfeit operation broken up last week when agents seized equipment and arrested Corey Brumfield, 21, of Syracuse. <br>
<br>
Brumfield was charged with using a gun to rob an undercover Onondaga County sheriff's detective. He also faces a felony count of the sale and distribution of counterfeit Federal Reserve notes. <br>
<br>
Penland faces charges of manufacturing counterfeit Federal Reserve notes and distribution of counterfeit notes. Each offense carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. <br>
<br>
Penland also was wanted on a probation warrant for a sex offense in Gwinett County, Ga., Christine said.
