An arrest warrant has been issued for a Libby man accused of passing counterfeit money, fake silver coins and sports cards at area businesses on multiple occasions in 2023 after he failed to appear in court earlier this week.

William Hoyle Beck, 43, is facing three counts of forgery, including two felonies. Beck was scheduled to be arraigned on the charges on Jan. 29 in Lincoln County District Court. But he didn’t appear.

Public defender Ben Kolter didn’t have any information on Beck’s whereabouts. Judge Matt Cuffe asked if Beck had bonded out and county Attorney Marcia Boris said she assumed he did, but said there was no record of it.
