Numerous cities in the listening area are dealing with fraudulent money floating around and Independence County has been working to end the scam.

Sheriff Shawn Stephens says the first report came from the Newark area.

He says the majority of funny money are $20 bills and it is obvious that they’re counterfeit.

The Sheriff says all of the suspects have been caught with the help of surveillance video and could face a Class B felony and time in prison.
