The Louisville Police Department is warning local merchants and
citizens to be on the lookout for counterfeit $100 bills. Some bills have already been passed and an arrest was made earlier this week. The fake bills were passed and attempted to be passed at two local restaurants and one retailer.
Devante Hoskins was taken into custody on Sunday and a number of counterfeit bills were in his possession at the time of arrest. He is currently in custody at the Winston Choctaw County Regional Correctional Facility.
Deputy Police Chief Andy Taylor provided a list of serial numbers of bills that may be counterfeit and that the public should check before accepting in any transaction:
