The pair was arrested the day before on Oct. 25 for allegedly trying to pay for gas with counterfeit money at an Allamuchy gas station, according to NJ.com.
“The detectives were wonderful in making our case a priority,” Buck said. “They were wonderful and kept us updated. I know people who have experienced crime in other towns and they are treated secondary. That was never the case here.”
