Counterfeit money used for pizza

With the economy at an all time low and counterfeit money being reported on a daily basis now is the time to get a counterfeit pen. Even if you are delivering pizza’s you are at risk for running into funny money.

A Uniontown woman used three counterfeit bills to purchase a pizza early Sunday morning in Fayette County. A manager at Domino’s Pizza on Morgantown Street told Uniontown police that a woman at a Lincoln Street residence used three counterfeit bills — two $5 bills and a $10 bill — to pay a delivery driver at 12:17 a.m. Sunday.

The woman who used the counterfeit money told police she obtained it from a neighbor earlier in the day.

Police Chief Jason Cox said the incident is under investigation.

The incident marks at least the third time counterfeit money was used in Fayette County during the weekend. State police at Uniontown said someone passed a counterfeit $10 bill Friday afternoon at Speedy Meedy’s on Route 711 in Springfield. A few hours later, someone attempted to use a counterfeit $5 bill to buy a quart of oil at Miller’s Grocery on Springfield Pike in Normalville.

Both of those incidents remain under investigation.
