Counterfeit cash turning up on Antrim County led to the arrest of two men accused of making the fake money themselves.

State police were called to the Northern Bear Country Store in Alba on Wednesday after a man tried to pay with a fake $100.00 bill.

Troopers caught up with the suspects a short time later and pulled them over. Police found other bills, plus drugs in the car.

The passenger from Mancelona, confessed to using the fake money.

He allowed police to search his home where they found photocopies of money in a trash can.

The driver, a man from Texas, refused to talk to police.

Both were arrested.
