Counterfeit bill.
The store said a male came into the store and bought a pack of gum with a counterfeit $20 bill.
Later, another male came into the store and attempted to buy beer with a counterfeit $20 bill. The clerk knew the names of both suspects.
A police officer was able to locate the girlfriend of one of the second suspect. She said the two of them were sitting on a bench when the first suspect rode up on a bicycle. Her boyfriend asked him for a few dollars so he could buy some beer. She said the first suspect handed him a $20 bill and said bring back the change.
The police interviewed the boyfriend, and he admitted to going in to the store for beer. He said he didn’t know the other suspect but later referred to him by his first name. He then admitted he knew him. The police believe the suspects were working together and arrested the boyfriend. The first suspect has not been located.
The United States Secret Service was contacted and will follow up in the case.

Trespassers.
The officer received a call about a trespasser at a business. When he arrived, he was informed by the clerk that the suspect left because the police were being called. The suspect left in such haste that she left her purse with her wallet.
The clerk said they have her on film shoplifting but only want her trespassed. The officer told them to place the purse in lost and found, and call the police when she returned to retrieve it.
Several hours later, the officer received a call from the business. The officer returned, and the suspect said she was there to get her purse.
The officer told her the business did not want to prosecute for shoplifting, but only to have her trespassed. The suspect insisted she had not stolen from the business.
Again, the officer explained that she was only being trespassed, and the suspect again claimed she was innocent of shoplifting.
The officer then offered to check the video, and if she is found shoplifting she would be arrested. The suspect said it was not necessary to review the video and accepted the trespass.

Always look at the fine print
9:44 a.m. — First Block of Lost Spring Way.
Civil Complaint.
The victim called police asking legal advice. She said she had signed a contract with a company to handle an Estate Sale. She moved out of the home and the sale was to last two weeks.
The suspect said she returned to the home a week later and saw that items were missing. The husband of the company owner yelled at her to leave, and she started to develop negative feelings about the company.
She told the officer she wanted to force them to give her a list of items that had been sold. The officer reviewed the contract, and it had nothing about keeping a list of items that were sold. It only said the owner would receive the profits of the sale.
The victim allowed the sale to continue.
