Smithville Woman Charged With Passing Counterfeit Money - NewsChannel5.com | Nashville News, Weather & Sports

SMITHVILLE, Tenn. - A Smithville woman has been charged with passing $140 in counterfeit bills buying drinks at a local bar.

Police said she picked up the tab for a big party with seven $20 bills. The bar staff called police when they took a closer look at the bills passed by the customer.

They were clearly not real, and looked like they were made on a copy machine.

The suspect told police she was given the money when she cashed a check at a local bank.

The woman, who was not identified, was booked into the DeKalb County jail.
