Manchester man given suspended sentence in check forgery case
A 41-year-old Manchester man pleaded innocent to two counts of check forgery last September and received a six-month suspended sentence with probation after a reduced charge. Rolf W. Coykendall Jr. pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor false token with intent to defraud. One forgery count was dropped with a restitution order for a $121 check drawn on Factory Point National Bank in Manchester Center in the name of Raylene Cornell. State's Attorney Neil S. Moss said he had the authority to bring the forgery charge.
