Dalton G. Smith, 83, of Bath, was found guilty of forgery.
Dalton G. Smith, 83, of Bath, was found guilty of forgery, a fifth-degree felony, on Monday in the Summit County Court of Common Pleas. Judge Tom Parker reached the verdict following a bench trial. "In an effort to evict a tenant from a property in Barberton, Smith created a fake court order supposedly signed by Judge Alison McCarty in which the tenant was ordered to pay damages to Smith," said April Wiesner, director of communication for Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh, in a prepared statement. "The tenant found the forged document on his kitchen table." Smith was sentenced to one year of community control and was ordered not to fake any more court documents.

Two Montrose stores reported finding fake $100 bills in their cash drawers in the same week, according to a Bath Township police report. On Dec. 3, Mustard Seed Market employees called to report the fake bill, a report stated. Later that week, on Dec. 8, the manager at Shell True North found one in her cash drawer. Both bills were sent to the United States Secret Service, the report stated. Police Chief Michael McNeely said he suspects these cases are linked to the case at Macy's in Summit Mall, where police arrested a woman with 13 counterfeit 100s. In each case, the suspect made a small purchase and paid with a $100 bill to get the change back, McNeely said. Detectives are investigating.
