After the buyer handed the seller the cash, he got the guitar and quickly left the area before the victim realized the money was counterfeit.

A police report outlining the incident shows that the buyer went by the name of "Charles White." The black Dodge Charger the buyer was driving had a green MTSU tag hanging from the review mirror.

The fake twenties that added up to $360 was turned over to Murfreesboro Police as evidence. So far, the man has not been caught.
