A man unsuccessfully attempted to pass counterfeit $100 bills about 2 p.m. Wednesday at three Greeneville businesses, police Officer Burton Ellis said in a report.
He first went to Applebeeâs Grill & Bar on East Andrew Johnson Highway. An employee determined the bill to be counterfeit and told the man, who then fled.
The suspect then went to the nearby Waffle House restaurant and tried to pass a counterfeit bill there. An employee there recognized the bill as counterfeit and the man again fled, the report said.
The suspect continued on to GNC in the Greeneville Commons, where he attempted to pass a third counterfeit $100 hill.
