 December court dates have been set for one former and two current Arkansas basketball players charged with forgery.

Anton Beard and Jacorey Williams have court dates scheduled for Dec. 8, while Dustin Thomas has a court date scheduled for Dec. 10. Attorneys for the three met with Washington County Circuit Court Judge Joanna Taylor on Tuesday for a status hearing.

Beard has been charged with three counts of forgery, while Thomas and Williams have been charged with one count apiece. All plead not guilty to the charges in September.

Forgery is a Class B felony in Arkansas and carries a punishment of five to 20 years in prison, a $15,000 fine or both.

Beard, Thomas and Williams were arrested July 22 for passing counterfeit money at Fayetteville businesses. An arrest report stated all three admitted to using the bills on July 17-18 but denied knowing they were fake.

Beard and Thomas are indefinitely suspended from the Razorbacks' basketball team. Beard would be Arkansas' second-leading returning scorer, and Thomas transferred during the offseason from Colorado.

Williams was dismissed from the Arkansas program in August and is now on the roster at Middle Tennessee.
