In Indiana County Court today, Senior Judge William Martin will conduct Plea Court for several defendants, including a Philadelphia man involved in a counterfeiting case.
24-year-old Bilal Basil Butler will have three cases before Judge Martin today. He is charged with forgery and theft by deception in each of them. They’re all from last May. Butler is accused of passing two counterfeit $100 bills at the Indiana Giant Eagle store, pocketing the change after making two small purchases. He is facing the same charges in Cambria County.
