LONGVIEW — A Longview man remained jailed after police said he tried to pass two counterfeit $100 bills. Carlton Hollins, 41, was jailed on $5,000 bond, charged with two counts of forgery of a government instrument. Police said he tried to pay for his food at McDonald’s in the 100 block of West Loop 281 with a counterfeit $100 bill around June 7. Then, when the cashier gave him change for the bill, he asked the employee to give him change for another $100 bill. Several days later, police said, Hollins attempted to pass a $100 bill at the McDonald’s in the 3100 block of Estes Parkway.
