During the month of July, Ocean City Police have recovered numerous counterfeit bills and arrested three individuals for possession of counterfeit currency. Most recently, one individual was apprehended with approximately $1,600 in fake U.S. currency.
On July 10, 2010, OCPD officers responded to a downtown boardwalk business, in reference to a recovered counterfeit $10 bill. Officers viewed a surveillance video that captured an individual who was suspected of passing the fake U.S. currency. As the day went on, police received additional recovered counterfeit bills from other downtown boardwalk businesses. Some of the bills were very similar and the suspect information in each case was similar.
Later in the day, officers patrolling the boardwalk spotted an individual who matched the description of the subject seen in the business surveillance video. Officers detained the individual and subsequently recovered a large amount of counterfeit U.S. currency, which was in the possession of the suspect. The on-scene investigation was able to link the suspect to passing the counterfeit money, which was found to be in denominations of $5 and $10 bills.
Dennis Anthony Wildberger, 48, of Stewartstown, Pennsylvania, was arrested and charged with multiple counts of possession and passing of forged/counterfeit U.S. currency and misdemeanor theft. Wildberger was seen by an Ocean City District Court Commissioner and released on his own recognizance.
In addition, on July 18, 2010, another Ocean City business recovered a counterfeit $100 dollar bill.

When did comedian Ron White start needing the extra cash?
There is another guy passing counterfeit US Currency on a large scale. His name is Ben Bernanke.
He and his cohorts have printed over a trillion dollars of worthless US Currency - and thereby devalued the dollars each of us have in our wallets.
yet another criminal "released on his own recognizance"... well, I guess in this case, he just would have bailed himself out with counterfeit bills.
