Counterfeit

Caddo Parish Sheriff’s detectives arrested a Shreveport man after they found drugs and counterfeit checks in his room at a motel.

Criminals love them some checks. Why? Because they are way easier to manipulate and/or counterfeit than paper money.

On Thursday and Friday of last week, crooks in two different cities in the Ark-La-Tex passed the bogus bucksand they are most likely still trying to do so.

Ticket prices are in the hundreds of dollars for some seats, which means the market is ripe for ripoffs if you're not careful.

The authorities were already watching him closely due to a previous charge for introduction of contraband into a penal institution and possession of synthetic cannabinoids in Orleans Parish.
