Sheriff Tate Lawrence said that during recent days several counterfeit bills have been passed in Izard County. Such bills have been passed to merchants in Melbourne, Calico Rock, and Horseshoe Bend. Lawrence said the bills are of poor quality with the same serial number on some of the twenty dollar bills. One hundred dollar bills have been passed having the same serial numbers as counterfeits passed in Pine Bluff.

Merchants and others should be attentive when accepting these denominations.
