Man pleads guilty in fake check ring

Sentencing is set Sept. 1 for a Nevada State Prison inmate who pleaded guilty Tuesday to burglary in connection with a fake check ring.

Kenneth Hall, 26, admitting cashing checks in Douglas County between Oct. 22-30, 2008.

"I went into various casinos to cash a fraudulent check for money," Hall told District Judge Dave Gamble.

He faces up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

In a plea agreement, the district attorney has agreed not to seek habitual criminal enhancement or file additional charges.

Hall agreed to pay restitution, estimated at nearly $5,000, and testify truthfully if he's called as a witness in other cases.

According to reports, the check-cashing ring operated in Douglas and Washoe counties and Carson City where Hall also faced charges.
