ABILENE -- The Dickinson County Sheriff has issued a warning to all residents and businesses in the county concerning counterfeit money.

According to information provided by Sheriff Gareth Hoffman, the Dickinson County Sheriff's Office currently is working several cases in which counterfeit bills have been passed.

Hoffman urged people to be cautious when accepting cash. 

"The current money that the Sheriff's Office has collected is clearly counterfeit and easily identified when taking just a bit of time to look at it and feel it," Hoffman wrote. "Should anyone come into possession of this money, please report it to law enforcement."

"The Sheriff's Office expects to file charges on several locals in the near future, but warns that there could very well be more of this counterfeit cash floating around," Hoffman noted.
