Young and George were released from custody and will appear in Sarnia court March 27. Shawnoo was being held for a bail hearing.
Young was arrested again Sunday evening after an officer noticed a suspicious vehicle parked in an alleyway on Petrolia Line. Police say they located $400 in US counterfeit money as well as suspected methamphetamine and marijuana. Young is facing another charge of possessing counterfeit money and possession of a schedule one and schedule two substance.
He was back in custody pending a bail hearing.
