Bowling Green Police Division received a call on Wednesday, at 6:42 p.m., from an employee at Petco who reported a female used a counterfeit $100 bill approximately five minutes ago to make a purchase.
An officer responded to the area and spoke with the caller. The caller stated the female used the counterfeit $100 bill to purchase an item under $10. The caller then gave the female approximately $90 in change. The caller described the subject as a thin black female, approximately 6-feet tall, who was wearing a white shirt and jeans. The caller advised the female left the store on foot.
The officer walked the area but did not locate the female. The officer spoke with employees from TJ Maxx and Staples. The employees advised a short time ago a female matching that description had tried to use a counterfeit $100 bill to make purchases at their stores, but they would not accept it.
The officer retrieved video from the store. An image of the female is below.
