U.S. citizen arrested for counterfeiting

A desire to get high has landed an American resident of Ladyville in double trouble. Police report that forty-eight year old Walter David Soehnge of Marage Road went to purchase three sticks of weed from a neighborhood vendor and paid for the purchase with a twenty dollar bill. The salesman didn’t have change however, and went to a nearby gas station where he bought cigarettes to break the bill and make his sale. Shortly afterward the gas station’s proprietor ran him down, saying the bill was counterfeit. Police were informed and when they visited the American’s residence on Friday morning they found computer equipment, special paper and a negative used to print Belize twenty dollar bills. They also found three ounces of weed in a plastic bag. Soehnge has been charged with drug trafficking and possession of counterfeit currency.
