Woman arrested for counterfeit bill

Police arrested a Madison woman early Friday morning for trying to pay with a counterfeit $100 bill at the nightclub Plan B on Williamson Street.

According to the report, the manager called police and gave a good description of the car the woman and her friend left in. Officers were able to spot the car on the road and pulled her over.

Police said the suspect claimed she had actually gotten the $100 bill in change from the bartender after she paid for drinks using “two hundred dollar bills,” which was soon after clarified as two $100 bills.

“The bar manager said getting a $100 bill in change would be impossible as his staff does not give out $100 bills—for change,” Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain said in a statement.

According to police, the manager said the suspect began yelling when the club refused to take her fake money.

“She also hollered at arresting officers: ‘I hate you mother (expletive) because you caught me,’” DeSpain said in a statement.
