Two people have been charged in connection with the passing of
several counterfeit $100 bills in Sylva.
Lisa Dawn Lee, 36, and John Tyson Dujat, 30, both of Pearlwood
Drive, Sylva, are facing charges of obtaining property by false
pretense, according to Sylva Police Detective Shannon Ashe.
Police Chief Jeff Jamison said the counterfeit bills were found
last week at Central Carolina Bank in a deposit from Cingular
Wireless.
"There was no indication that the business was involved,"
Jamison said.
As of Thursday afternoon, Lee was in custody in Jackson County
with bond set at $3,000, according to Ashe.
He said Dujat was being held in the Haywood County Jail on an
unrelated charge.
The U.S. Secret Service is continuing the investigation, Ashe
said.
