Three Flandreau businesses have reported being given counterfeit $100 bills as payment but didn’t accept the money in exchange for merchandise.
Police Chief Zach Weber said the businesses hit with the fake money confiscated three of the bills and reported all of the incidents to his department. “They took the bills, but they did not exchange it for goods,” he said. That’s the right way to handle the situation, he said.
Clerks at Subway, Maynard’s Grocery Store and Trading Post all were given counterfeit bills between Dec. 8 and Jan. 16, he said. The Trading Post was hit two different times.
