On Friday the Fayette County Sheriff's Office warned neighboring counties that counterfeit bills could be circulated in their county.  The warning came after the arrest of a Clermont man on numerous charges related to counterfeiting.

Now the Decorah Police Department says the counterfeit bills have made their way here.

A "local business" has reported receiving a suspicious $20 bill, which later was determined to be counterfeit.  The $20 bill was related to the Fayette County Sheriff's Office's investigation, according to Decorah Police.
