BERKELEY SPRINGS, WV (LOOTPRESS) – A fugitive with a history of fraud and burglary was arrested on February 9 after allegedly using counterfeit money at a 7-Eleven in Berkeley Springs.

He had outstanding felony warrants for burglary and forgery and was wanted for extradition nationwide.
Investigators have linked Khaleeq to at least one other counterfeit currency case in Morgan County.
