By LAMECH JOHNSON Tribune Staff Reporter ljohnson@tribunemedia.net A MAN accused of possessing fake Bahamian currency notes was arraigned in Magistrate's Court yesterday morning. Marvin Curtis, 34, of Sunlight Cottage appeared before Magistrate Guillimina Archer in Court 10, Nassau Street in connection with the alleged offence, reportedly committed on Sunday, February 12. It is alleged that Curtis was in possession of 15 fake Bahamian $50 notes bearing the serial numbers B629061 and B071194. The prosecution claims the accused knew the notes were forged, but purported that they were genuine. Curtis denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty. The prosecution offered no objection to bail, and Curtis was granted a $2,000 bond with one surety. He returns to Magistrate's Court for trial on September 5, when two witnesses are expected to give evidence. Curtis was not represented by an attorney at yesterday's proceeding.
