Couple reportedly attempts to pass counterfeit cash at police station


ADA — An Ada woman reportedly attempted to pay a friend’s fine at the Ada Police Department with counterfeit money Monday, before police discovered drugs in their vehicle.

According to a report provided by the Ada Police Department, Crystal Bell attempted to pay a fine for Ronnie Tarr at the Ada Police Department Monday afternoon with three counterfeit $20 bills that each had the same serial number. The court clerk then contacted an officer who questioned Bell about the money, which she said she received from Tarr, who was waiting for her in the car.

The officer made contact with Tarr, who admitted giving the money to Bell to pay his fine, but said he received the money at a local gaming center. Tarr then handed over his wallet to the officer to search, at which time the officer found the original $20 bill with the same serial number.

While the officer searched Tarr’s vehicle, he found five plastic bags filled with a clear crystal substance, two spoons with crystal residue on them and three syringes with a clear liquid substance in them hidden in an eye glass case that had Tarr’s name and address on it.

A check in the amount of $2500 from Cleburne, Texas, was found in Bell’s purse, at which time she said it may have been forged and she intended to turn it into the police but was too busy.

Tarr and Bell were arrested on the suspicion of unlawful use of a counterfeit bill and possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute.

Can you believe they actually were stupid enough to do this a the police station?????
