A 22 year old man from Pierre has been charged with trying to use fake currency yesterday afternoon (Sept. 10, 2023, around 2:30pm) at a business in the 600 block of West Sioux Avenue in Pierre.
Information from the police department says an investigation by patrol officers showed that Brandon McLaughlin entered a store and attempted to purchase items with a fake $100 bill. The sale was denied and the subject left, leaving the fake bill at the store. Officers confirmed the bill was fake and located McLaughlin a few blocks away.
McLaughlin was taken to the Hughes County Jail charged with Possessing a Forged Instrument with Intent to Defraud.
