I think that about sums it up...

I guess it could have been a misunderstanding though. He might not have known it was fake bill... I doubt it though.

Dude, there are NO coincidences when criminals are involved. The benefit of the doubt does NOT apply.

I did say I doubt it... LOL! I am well aware, I was just stating that it was possible and has happened before. I have dealt with people passing bad bills several dozens of times at a job I used to have

He is and will be in jail/temp cell at a PD until he can go to a bond hearing/prelim. That is for the best.

I do not know enough about him to give an opinion. He may pose a flight risk though. I doubt he is a danger to anyone, so they will likely just give him a HUGE Bond. That'd be the way to go, unless the guy is dangerous based on information that I do not have (entirely possible). He is looking at some serious trouble though.

I was given a fake $5 bill as change at a KFC, later was trying to buy something at a quick-E-mart and was told it was fake. Not saying the guy didn't know but I didn't notice. These things do happen. Flash washes it a bit, it looks darker and closer to the $1 in real life.




when put next to a normal bill, you can dell the difference but by itself, not so much. They used one of the pens on it to tell.

It all depends on how familiar you are with currency I suppose. I used to have a job where 1/5th of the time I was dealing with fake bills. It is fairly easy to tell by feel though. Even if the bill has been washed/rubbed, or otherwise "treated" it is not really that hard to tell. Plus there is always security threads, "the strip", and the holographic ink that makes it easy to tell.
I did say it could be a misunderstanding, but I doubt it.
