A man was been arrested after police said he used counterfeit money to purchase fake OxyContin pills from an undercover officer. Unicoi County Sheriff's deputies arrested a 21-year-old man on Tuesday and charged him with criminal conspiracy with schedule II drugs, forgery and criminal simulation.
Investigator Frank Rogers said the officer met with several people at a mobile home park and arranged for the suspect and another man to come to Unicoi to buy 76 OxyContin pills for $4,875.
Officers said it was "obviously bad money" with some bills printed on just one side.[LOL]
Authorities also tracked down the device believed used to make the counterfeit money.
The Johnson City Press reported officers expect to make more arrests in the case.
