Ferndale: Police Say Man Used 
Fake $100 Bill to Buy Ice Cream at Festival
(Lt. William Wilson, Ferndale Police, July 21, 2015)
The Pig & Whiskey festival in Ferndale turned out to be a fun and friendly event with one catch – a catch that resulted in the arrest of a man for passing a counterfeit $100 bill.
On 
07/19/15 (Sunday) at about 1:50 p.m. an woman working sales at the Treat Dreams ice cream vending tent flagged down an officer on foot patrol. The woman said a man just made an ice cream purchase with a $100 bill that she believed was fake. He bought a $4.00 ice cream and walked off with $96.00 that she gave him in change. She pointed the man out as he walked through the festival.
Officers stopped the man who gave differing accounts of where he got the $100 bill. Officers examined the bill and saw that it was counterfeit.
They then arrested Jeremy SIMPSON who will be arraigned this afternoon for Uttering and Publishing a Counterfeit Bill (5 year felony).
