A man tried to pass a $20 counterfeit bill early Sunday morning at a gas station on U.S. 2 East. The fake was caught with a detector pen and when the clerk questioned the man about it, he said he had gotten it from someone in Missoula. The clerk said the bill was a pretty obvious phony because, among other fatal flaws, the image was off-center. The suspect snatched the bill back, paid for his stuff with a different $20 bill and took off for, yes, Missoula.
