Greeson returns home, arrested again

Rachel Brown

Just days after suspected counterfeiter Christy Ann Greeson made $45,000 bond in Alabama, she was arrested again — this time in Dalton.

The Dalton Police Department charged Greeson, 31, 659 Richardson Road, Dalton on Tuesday with first degree forgery. Police department spokesman Bruce Frazier said law enforcement officials had been searching for her after a report that she tried to pass a counterfeit $100 bill in November, then wrote a bad check.

Frazier said the incident occurred at The Hair Studio at 304 S. Hamilton St. on Nov. 12. Greeson had her hair done and purchased some products under the name “Christy White.” Her bill came to $117, and she tried to pay for part of the bill with counterfeit money, he said.

“The employee went out in the parking lot after her, and said ‘Hey, this is a fake $100 bill,’” Frazier said.

He said Greeson then apologized and later came back with her boyfriend, Aubrey Clayton Silvers, to pay with a check — which bounced. The department put a warrant out for her, but because of the discrepancy in the last name, they didn’t locate her until after her Dec. 22 arrest when she faced charges involving passing counterfeit bills at the Walmart in Fort Payne, Ala.

Silvers, 43, of 664 Haig Mill Road, Dalton was charged with three counts of criminal possession of a forged instrument as was Greeson.

A phone number for Greeson could not be located, and Silvers was still in the DeKalb County Jail yesterday afternoon on $45,000 bond.
