The Florida Highway Patrol recovered a quantity of counterfeit cash after a traffic stop on I-10 in Escambia County.

Ledford was charged with possession of counterfeit bill and smuggling counterfeit bank bills into the state. He was being held in the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $5,000.

A good thing that law enforcement caught Mr Leadford, before he attempted to pass it on to his drug dealer and ended up getting his brains blown out.
Nice job, troopers!
Nice find.
