Hardee's in Ardmore reported to the Giles County Sheriff's Department today an individual was attempting to pass counterfeit money.
Workers at the fast food restaurant said the individual saw someone checking the 20 dollar bill and they left the scene.
The car was headed toward Pulaski and authorities were not for sure if they remained on Highway 31 North or took a turn on Interstate 65.
Officers continue the investigation.
Sheriff Kyle Helton said they are seeing an increase of reports regarding the counterfeiting of U.S. currency and fraudulent use of debit/credit cards. I commend the officers for their investigation and encourage the community to report any currency that appears suspicious to our office at (931) 363-3505.
