Florence Resident Sentenced for Counterfeit Money Ring

A 27-year-old man from Florence, South Carolina, has been sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for his role in a counterfeit money manufacturing and passing scheme. Shadrick Jarmarcus Jett was sentenced to 18 months’ imprisonment followed by 3 years of supervised release.

Jett was found guilty of conspiracy to manufacture and pass counterfeit money, a violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 371. The evidence presented at the guilty plea hearing established that Jett was involved in a conspiracy to manufacture and pass counterfeit $100 and $50 bills in multiple states, including South Carolina and North Carolina.

This conspiracy, which began in 2015, included at least nine codefendants who were responsible for making and passing over $100,000 in counterfeit money. Jett was directly involved in making counterfeit and was found in possession of a genuine $100 “parent note” used to print counterfeit $100 bills when his car was stopped and searched by the Florence County Sheriff’s Office after a short chase.

During the search of Jett’s car, deputies found the genuine parent note along with eleven completed counterfeit $100 bills and over 450 uncut partial images of counterfeit $100 bills all bearing the same serial number as the recovered parent note. Secret Service determined that 230 counterfeit $100 bills bearing this same serial number were passed beginning in June of 2017.

The case was investigated by agents of United States Secret Service with the assistance of the Florence County Sheriff’s Office and the Florence Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney A. Bradley Parham of the Florence office prosecuted the case.
