Counterfeit $100 bills
The Port Townsend Police
are seeking information about who has been passing
counterfeit $100 bills within Port Townsend (PTPD case
#10-0062). A Hispanic male is described as being in his
twenties, about 5’4" to 5’7" with short black hair that
has "kind of a spike" to it, a Hispanic accent and a
"bright white smile". Victims report the man is very
cordial and polite. He typically attempts to purchase a
lower cost item and pay with a counterfeit $100 bill,
pocketing the real money he receives as change. One
victim reports she saw this suspect drive away in a
white pick-up.
