MOORHEAD, Minn. (KFGO-AM) - A Fargo man has been arrested in Moorhead for passing fake $20.00 bills at several fast food restaurants. Nineteen-year-old Thang Truong is charged with nine counts of felony possession of counterfeit currency.
Lt. Tory Jacobson says Truong used the fake bills to obtain real money by making small purchases, such as a cup of coffee. He says Truong passed the phony money in the drive-thru lanes of at least three Moorhead restaurants.
All of the same bills appeared to have the same serial number. Police are working with the FBI to determine where the counterfeits are coming from; and whether the bills are connected to similar counterfeit cases.
