Fake $100 bills, and all the tools needed to make more.
A College Station police officer found that and more during a traffic stop.
The officer was patrolling in the 2100 block of Texas Avenue when he saw a woman leave a store, and get into a 2011 Dodge Charger.
That meets the description of a car that left a store earlier where a woman is suspected of passing a fake $100 bill.
The officer pulled the car over, and noticed the driver, 29 year old Kimberly Dawn Perkins of Franklin, looks similar to the woman in the surveillance video where the fake $100 was used.
A detective came, and found additional fake $100 bills along with a glass smoking pipe with traces of methamphetamine, a color copier/scanner, numerous chemicals used for "washing" currency, a drafter's cutting board and a shirt identical to the shirt worn by the suspect in the original forgery report taken by the officer.
Perkins was charged with 3 Counts of Forgery of Government Money/National Instrument/Security, and 1 Count of Possession of Controlled Substance.
The case is still under investigation by both College Station police and the Secret Service.
