Police: Man pays fine with fake money

FORT WORTH, Texas (UPI) -- Police in Fort Worth, Texas, say a man attempted to pay a $70 municipal court fine using a counterfeit $20 bill.

Police allege in a report the man, whose identity was not disclosed, made the illegal payment for prior traffic violations while being supervised by a marshal in Forth Worth Municipal Court, the Fort Worth (Texas) Star Telegram reported.

A courthouse teller inspected the $20 bill offered by the man Wednesday and a routine ink test indicated the currency may be counterfeit, police allege.

The Star Telegram said police took the man into custody and were investigating the counterfeiting claim before determining whether to file additional charges.
