BREMERTON, Wash. – Police in Washington state say they’ve captured three people who bought Girl Scout cookies with counterfeit $20 bills.

She says she found an additional $60 worth of fake bills in the cookie receipts for a total loss of $100.

Police say the counterfeiters also were using fake bills to make purchases at stores all over Kitsap County, west of Seattle.

Three people were in custody Monday and police say there’s probable cause to arrest a fourth.

Robbery suspect tries to take police entrance exam

CHULA VISTA, Calif. – Authorities in California say a man wanted for a store robbery was arrested when he showed up to take a test to become a police officer.

Chula Vista police spokesman Bernard Gonzales said investigators had identified Romeo Montillano as a suspect in a Dec. 8 robbery at a Kmart.

Gonzales says investigators learned that Montillano had signed up for the February Police Department entrance exam.

The 40-year-old man was arrested Wednesday when he arrived to take the test.

Gonzales said that when Montillano was taken into custody he asked if he would still be able to take the exam.

Police said Montillano was arrested for investigation of robbery, making criminal threats and grand theft. He remained in jail Saturday in lieu of $110,000 bail.
