A gas station clerk called police Sunday night after suspecting Hart used counterfeit money at the store.
The clerk at a Texaco station on Greensboro Avenue called Tuscaloosa Police at 5:50 p.m. and reported that Hart was still in the business, said TPD spokesman Sgt. Brent Blankley.
Police said that Hart used a false name when they arrived to question him. The officers transported Hart to TPD headquarters and detected the smell of marijuana when they arrived, Blankley said.
Officers searched the back of the patrol car and found a bag containing eight grams of marijuana beside Hart's feet, he said. The investigation into the counterfeit money is still being investigated, Blankley said.
