HORSE FEED PURCHASED WITH COUNTERFEIT BILLS
I don't often bother to pass along stories of counterfeit bills being passed. There are dozens of such reports every week, and they all sound the same. The shovers spend the bills all over town, from gas stations to diners, yard sales, Girl Scout cookie booths and prostitutes. But here's a purchase type I never heard before in an article from Oregon: horse feed.

Rogue Rover police are investigating who passed off a pair of counterfeit $100 bills to local businesses over the weekend and trying to identify two persons of interest. One of the $100 bills was paid to a cashier at Ace Hardware-Main Building Supply on Saturday and another was handed off at Rogue River Pharmacy on a unknown date, Rogue River Police Chief Ken Lewis said. The persons of interest are described as a white woman of a medium build in her mid 40s with dark blond hair and a white man of average height in his mid 40s with dark hair, Lewis said. The pair purchased a bale of alfalfa and horse feed at the building supply store.
