TOLL TAKER ARRESTED IN COUNTERFEIT SCHEME

A November 29 Associated Press story reported that
"A San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge toll taker was
arrested on suspicion he accepted dozens of
counterfeit $100 bills and provided real change
to an accomplice, authorities said.

Maurice Grays, of San Francisco, was arrested earlier
this month after toll supervisors noticed he was
turning in an unusually large number of counterfeit
bills after his shifts, according to a U. S. Secret
Service arrest affidavit.

On average, toll takers accidentally take about two
counterfeit bills per year, but Grays had a total
of 24 fake bills in his collection deposits during
the period from June to October, the affidavit said."
