BOARDMAN, Ohio (WKBN) – An Austintown man was arrested after police say he passed off play money as cash at a local grocery store.
Jeremy Daviduk, 37, of Austintown, was booked into the Mahoning County Jail Friday on charges of theft by deception and obstructing official business.
He also used some of the cash he got from the play money transaction to play the lottery, in which he won $100, according to police.
The fake bills were discovered after an employee was closing the cash register.
Police noted the fake bills were marked “The United States Play Money.”
