MOULTRIE — A Moultrie man was arrested after he allegedly tried to make a purchase using a counterfeit bill Tuesday night.
Freddie Hadley, 44, of 9 Fourth Ave. N.W., Apt. A, was charged with forgery.
A Moultrie police officer was called to M&E; Grocery on First Street Northwest at 10:35 p.m. about a counterfeit bill. The officer spoke with an employee who stated Hadley allegedly tried to buy a bag of chips using a counterfeit $50 bill.
When the employee checked the bill using a counterfeit-detecting pen, he stated it showed the $50 bill was counterfeit. He then tore the bill in half and told Hadley it was no good, but Hadley told the employee that the bill was good.
The officer looked at the bill and told Hadley it was a counterfeit bill, but he allegedly insisted it was a good bill. When asked where the bill came from, Hadley allegedly stated he got it from a supermarket but then said he had received it as change after an unknown friend bought him some items using a $100 bill.
Hadley was then placed under arrest and taken to Colquitt County Jail, and the counterfeit bill was taken as evidence.
