Suspects have been identified in the Meade County Sheriff’s Office’s ongoing investigation into the use of counterfeit money in the area.
According to the sheriff’s office, area law enforcement received calls on March 25 regarding individuals attempting to pass or passing counterfeit $100 bills. The perpetrators attempted to pass the bills at several different stores in Meade, Breckinridge, and Hardin counties, and the bills used were able to pass the typical marker test for money.

The sheriff’s office is searching for two more suspects as part of the ongoing investigation, and more information will be released as it becomes available. Area residents and businesses that receive large bills are advised to closely examine them, and if you believe you received a counterfeit contact law enforcement.
