Suspected Forger Jailed After Passing 2 $100 Bills at Major Retailers
Grants Pass City Police arrested and lodged a man in jail on a forgery charge after passing multiple $100 bills at different retailers.
Friday morning City Police received a call from Grocery Outlet that a man had passed a fake $100 bill and security footage was available along with the bill. City Police contacted the suspect in Riverside Park just before one o’clock Friday afternoon and placed him into custody.
According to the City Police narrative Russell Ellis Davis, 36, was identified from surveillance as having passed two fake, $100 bills, one at Fred Meyer and one at Grocery Outlet, where he was initially caught on video.
Davis retained the property from Fred Meyer and admitted to the crimes but was only lodged on one count of forgery I because the admissions from the Fred Meyer incident were not yet corroborated.
Davis remained in custody Saturday morning with no bond set.
