A man has been arrested after trying to pass a counterfeit bill at a Leitchfield convenience store.
Saturday morning at approximately 1:45, Leitchfield Police Officers Missy Skaggs, Taylor Wright and Hunter Miller responded to FiveStar Food Mart at 308 South Main Street after a subject, 28-year-old Aaron A. Cummings, of Indiana, attempted to use a counterfeit $20 bill at the store.
Cummings left the store before officers arrived, but police were given a description of Cummings’ vehicle, a 2017 Nissan Altima. Officers then executed a traffic stop on the Nissan on the Leitchfield Town Square. Leitchfield PD Sgt. Keith Harrell soon arrived on the scene and assisted officers.
Cummings, who had two failure to appear warrants from another county, was found to be in possession of counterfeit currency and also had a juvenile with him.
Cummings was arrested and charged with criminal possession of a forged instrument and unlawful transaction with a minor. He was lodged in the Grayson County Detention Center.
According to an unconfirmed report, Cummings attempted to purchase a vehicle from someone in Grayson County with $2,800 in cash on Friday. The person selling the vehicle refused the money.
