Another counterfeit $100 bill has been reported in Washington County.
Dispatch records show Friday morning the Washington County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a female customer using a fake $100 bill while making a purchase at the Riverside Dollar General at about 8:00 Thursday night. The suspect and the vehicle in which she arrived were both caught on security video, although there is no indication if the license plate was legible.
The latest report falls within the timeline of three other calls about counterfeit $100 bills received in Washington County between 7:45 and 8:45 Thursday night. The first call about a bogus bill came in at 7:45 from a food truck parked outside the Dollar General in Kalona. At 8:33, the Dollar General in Washington reported someone using a fake $100 bill to purchase multiple items there. The final call came at 8:44, when a caller claimed a subject had tried and failed to pass a counterfeit $100 bill at the Dollar Generals in Kalona and Brighton.
Friday afternoon, Czech Village Antiques in Cedar Rapids posted on Facebook that two young women had used a fake $100 bill there. A later comment from the business indicated the women had passed the bill unknowingly. There is no indication if the case can be tied to the Washington County reports..
