A man suspected of trying to repeatedly scam a Scottsdale strip club with phony cash was arrested Saturday night.
James Johnson, 25, visited Skin Cabaret late Friday and spent more than $500 worth in counterfeit bills, Scottsdale police said. Johnson returned to the club at 1137 N. Scottsdale Road on Saturday and attempted to dupe the club again, according to police reports.
Employees recognized Johnson and notified police. Scottsdale authorities as well as the Secret Service conducted an investigation, which led to another arrest and the confiscation of additional counterfeit money and money printing equipment.
Shannon Daugherty, 37, was arrested on suspicion of forgery and participation in a counterfeiting operation after police were led to a Phoenix house where nearly $6,000 in forged bills was seized. Johnson was arrested on suspicion of forgery .

Sounds fair to me. I’m sure all the boobs were fake too. Besides, the fake bills would just go to drug dealers as soon as the tramps’ shifts were over.
