Quick action

man for passing a possible counterfeit $100 bill.

The Wednesday

arrest may provide a break in other local counterfeit cases at Belk and

the Bath and Beauty Store, according to detectives.

After viewing

a video tape of the incident at the Goody's at Fayette Pavilion, deputies

Aaron Fenimore, Mike Jones and Wayne Hall scoured adjacent parking lots

looking for the suspect. Tyrone Redditt, 30, was arrested before he could

get to his car, which was parked farther away from Goody's, said Lt. Mike

Hattaway of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department.

"He had

walked a long way off, towards the Belk area," Hattaway said.

Redditt was

caught with three more potential counterfeit $100s in his possession,

and he was charged with three counts of forgery in the first degree and

three counts of forgery in the second degree.

The U.S. Secret

Service is assisting Fayette County detectives with the case, which may

lead to federal charges being filed, Hattaway noted. It is believed that

Redditt also passed counterfeit bills at the Belk and Bath and Beauty

stores in Fayetteville along with other stores in Fayetteville and Clayton

County, detectives said.
