Both were contacted as they walked away from the store. One, the 18-year old listed above, had the fake bill in her pants. An officer noted it was about 3/4 the size of a real bill. The other suspect had items that had been shoplifted from the rock shop. A man associated with the women ran from police and was arrested following a short foot chase.

Employees at two other businesses: Madison Food Mart, 902 E. Johnson St., and Cork N Bottle, 855 E. Johnson St. also reported having the women in their stores, and that they also attempted to pass a phony $100 bill during attempted transactions.
