HART – A 37-year-old Walkerville man faces serving up to five months in jail after pleading guilty in 27th Circuit Court Monday, April 15, to a felony of forgery.

In exchange for his guilty plea, Scheel’s jail time will be capped at five months, said Oceana County Prosecutor Joseph Bizon.
Sentencing guidelines in the case are five to 23 months, and a forgery conviction is punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
