TAYLORVILLE, Ind. – The Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched on Tuesday to a business in the 11000 block of North U.S. 31, in Taylorsville, because a fraud report was called in. When deputies arrived, they were advised that a customer had attempted to pay for his order with a counterfeit $50 bill.
The alleged suspect reportedly left the parking lot and deputies followed him to the Edinburgh Outlet Mall. After initially hiding from law enforcement behind some landscape, the man led officers on short foot pursuit before he was tracked down. The suspect was identified as Antonino Cheatem, 44, of Indianapolis, who was taken into custody without further incident.
