Santa Rita man arrested after attempting to use counterfeit bills at gas station
As police and the U.S. Secret Service investigate the source of counterfeit money being passed around on the island, officers with the Guam Police Department's Agat Precinct arrested a Santa Rita man for fraud. Sergeant Elmer Sardoma says early this morning police were called to the Mobil Gas Station in Agat, where a cashier stopped a man attempting to use counterfeit dollar bills to pay for cigarettes.
Police arrested Francisco Solivio Belmes on fraud charges. A minor was also taken into police custody. Sergeant Sardoma says police confiscated 91 $1 bills that were determined to be counterfeit.
Belmes told police he received the money from a cockfight.
