Jessica Smith, a 27-year-old white female from Covington, LA, is wanted for allegedly using counterfeit $100 bills at three local businesses to purchase items.

Smith attempted to use a fake bill at one local dollar store, but the manager was alert and did not fall for it. Smith was identified using store surveillance video, vehicle information and social media.

Social media is becoming the best way to identify suspects in crimes.

Anyone with information on Jessica Smith is asked to contact Det. Lt. Jason Smith of the Minden Police Dept. at 318-371-4226 (office) or 318-268-1441 (cell).
