WAUKESHA, WI — A Walgreens employee working at the Madison St. store was approached by a suspect with a fake $20 bill at about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday.

The clerk reportedly recognized the money as fake because the bill said "copy" in the lefthand corner of the bill.

The clerk told the man to take it back and he produced a real $20 bill which he used to pay for the items. Walgreens saw the male leave in a blue car with a "fin" on the back.
