Auburn, Ala. - On June 7, 2024, Auburn Police, with assistance from the Orlando Police Department, arrested Najee Anthony Sanders, age 29, from Bronx, New York, on warrants charging him with two counts of possession of a forged instrument first degree and theft of property fourth degree.

The arrest stems from Auburn Police receiving reports from two businesses located in the 2300 block of South College Street. Staff associated with both businesses reported that a suspect used counterfeit money to conduct transactions on March 17, 2024.

Najee Anthony Sanders was developed as a suspect, and after further investigation, arrest warrants were obtained. Sanders was located by the Orlando Police Department in Florida on April 25, 2024, and he was arrested in obedience to the warrants.

During the extradition process, Sanders waived extradition and was transported to the Lee County Jail. The arrest warrants were executed on June 7, and Sanders was held on an $11,000 bond.

All defendants are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
