Girl scout gets fake $100 for cookies?

A 10-year-old Girl Scout was excited when a woman asked to buy 10 boxes of cookies from her Sunday, and she was more excited to be paid with a $100 bill.

But her excitement turned to dismay when the Scout’s mother realized the bill was a fake, and a day of raising money for Scout trips ended with a valuable lesson.

“Sometimes you can’t trust just anybody,” the Scout said.

The suspect, who was described by Tenino police as a white woman in her late teens to early 20s, ordered 10 boxes — Shortbread, Thin Mints, Peanut Butter Patties and Caramel deLites — worth $40.

In addition to contacting Tenino police about the counterfeit bill, Lundquist alerted the Girl Scouts Pacific Peaks Council, the Scouts’ governing board, said Dorothy Nelson, communication and marketing director for the council.
