Counterfeit money A Harwood man was charged with possessing counterfeit cur rency after county police said he tried to use funny money twice Sunday night at Westfield Annapolis mall in Parole. At 7 p.m. a manager at Chick-fil-A reported that a man tried to buy a drink with a phony $50 bill. Employees immediately recog nized the bill was fake, and called police. Meanwhile, police got a second call about the man. This time, they said, he tried to use the counterfeit bill at nearby Borders Books. Officers who were working secondary employment at the mall joined up with mall security officers and tracked down the man. While questioning the man, police found 15 counterfeit $50 bills and $240 in real cash. At one point, the man ran off, but police chased him and ar rested him on Defense Highway, police said. After the pursuit, the man complained of chest pain and breathing problems and was taken by ambulance to Anne Arundel Medical Center in Parole. Police contacted a special agent with the U.S. Secret Service in Baltimore to assist with the case. Daniele Francesco Nucci, 26, of 105 Jordan Lane, Harwood, was charged with two counts knowingly passing counterfeit docu ments, one count possessing counterfeit currency, and one count resisting arrest.
