MOTION PICTURE MONEY SPENT IN ROCHESTER

Those Motion Picture Money stories keep popping up. Nick Graver forwarded this article from the Rochester, NY Democrat and Chronicle. Thanks. -Editor

Motion Picture money A Hilton man is accused of using a counterfeit $100 bill to pay for pizza earlier this month.

Tyler C. Ragin, 20, is charged with possession of a forged instrument and petit larceny.

According to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, deputies have responded to at least five separate incidents of counterfeit money being passed in the past few weeks.

In each instance, a $100 or $20 bill was passed and each bill was marked "FOR MOTION PICTURE USE ONLY."

A pizza delivery person called 911 after thinking a customer used a fake $100 bill for payment. After an investigation, Ragin was charged.

Deputies are asking the public to be alert of "FOR MOTION PICTURE USE ONLY" counterfeit bills being passed as legal currency. Anyone who encounters these fake bills is asked to call 911.
