Prescott police and Gateway Mall security officers responded to a report of a woman passing funny money and security officers were able to nab the woman before she could escape from the mall.
Police arrested Sarah Ann Murabito, 22, Saturday on charges of passing counterfeit $100 bills at the Prescott Gateway Mall, said Prescott Police Lt. Ken Morley. Mall security spotted the suspect and took Murabito into custody after she used large denomination bills to make small purchases and then got real money back.

Police believe Murabito was working with a man who stayed with her at an area hotel. Police believe the two, both from Phoenix, are part of a larger organization, Morley said, and is looking for others who are involved in the scheme.

Police said that the couple passed the fake bills at least 10 times in Prescott during the past week, Morley said.

They would make small transactions buying five or ten dollars of merchandise and use the $100 bills for the purchase. Cashiers would then give them $70-$80 of “real” cash back as their change.

Investigators are still trying to locate the others that they believe are involved and ask that anyone with additional information should call the department at 778-1444.

A Prescott police officer says that mother nature called at about the same time that he received another emergency call, this one from the police dispatcher.
He hurried out of the grocery store restroom so fast that he never noticed that he had left behind a very important and a very dangerous piece of equipment, his gun.

Police say that the officer went back to the store when he realized it but, you guessed it, the gun was gone.
Fearing that the gun may have gotten into the wrong hands, police decided to keep it all quiet to see what happened. They had hoped that a good samaritan had picked up the weapon and took it home for safe keeping or that someone might even try to pawn the handgun
But as they waited, there was no response and no one tried to sell the weapon so the police had to go public about the misdeed of the officer.

Police Lt. Ken Morley said that they had been searching for the gun since March 24, when officer John File went into a bathroom at a Fry’s store and put his gun on the back of the toilet. File got an emergency call and forgot to pick up his pistol when he left.
Morley says police were worried that a child or teenager had found the gun and reviewed security store tapes but saw only adults.

Morley says an anonymous caller directed officers to a mail box in Prescott Valley Thursday and they found the .40-caliber Glock handgun inside.
Morley did not say if Officer File received any type of disciplinary actions for the incident.
