A Flowery Branch pair is in custody after police say they passed counterfeit bills at two different locations in Oakwood.
Oakwood Police Sgt. Todd Templeton said in a press release that police had received reports of counterfeit bills being passed at a Captain D’s restaurant and the Wal-Mart in Oakwood between June 26 and June 29. Police said $20, $10 and $1 bills were passed.
Investigators were able to identify the pair via surveillance footage and witness statements.
Templeton said police were familiar with Turner as the result of a prior investigation in which he was charged with purchasing used vehicles with counterfeit money.
Oakwood police and the Multi Agency Narcotics Squad went to a home in Flowery Branch and found Turner and Wolfe hiding in a bedroom before taking them into custody.
Templeton said officers found a small quantity of suspected methamphetamine, numerous pieces of counterfeit currency and copied/altered money orders.
Turner was charged by Oakwood police with seven counts of forgery in the first degree and Wolfe was charged with two counts of being a party to those crimes.
MANS agents charged Turner with 19 counts of forgery in the second degree and possession of methamphetamine.
