Funny moneyUse of fake money continues to plague local police and business

By William Holloman

Staff WriterMount Olive Police have had

an active week in handling a variety of issues, including two more incidents of counterfeit money being passed at local businesses.

This time the fake money in-cluded three $100 bills in one incident and a fake $20 in an-other. Both incidents are still under investigation and the fake money was confiscated.

The three fake $100 bills were passed at Walmart. Of-ficials said an unknown black male used them to purchase a $279 PS4 gaming unit and left the store before the bills were checked.

In the other fake money in-cident, a clerk at the Friendly Mart on South Breazeale Ave-nue said an intoxicated black male attempted to purchase beer with a counterfeit $20. Police said the clerk told them she refused to make the sale and the man demanded the

money back and then left the business. Police said they are reviewing the business video.

In other police activity, Wil-nique Simprevil of 113 Hills-boro Street filed a report with police that someone removed the vehicle license tag from his 2005 Dodge while it was parked at his residence. The license plate number is ECZ-1772.
