On 4/14/17, the Johnson City Police Department arrested Emma Lee Boone (19 years old, 1 Mel Circle #2) and charged her with (70 cts.) criminal simulation.
The arrest comes as a result of an investigation into a purchase of a vehicle that was made with counterfeit currency. On the evening of 4/13/17, the victim reported that he met with Boone in the parking lot of the Walgreens, 606 N. Broadway St., to sell her a car that he had posted with various online sources.

Boone was identified as the person that gave the counterfeit bills to the victim as payment.
On 4/14/17, Boone was placed under arrest and transported to the Washington County Detention Center, where she is being held in lieu of a $30,000 bond. Arraignment is set for 1:30 p.m. on 4/17/17 in Washington County General Sessions Court.
