Officers with the Ethridge police department stated they were assisted in their investigation by deputies from the Lawrence County sheriff's office, where the evidence they obtained at the scene led them to a residence on North Church Street.

After arriving at the residence more evidence was gathered that uncovered a counterfeit operation, and four suspects were arrested on charges ranging from criminal simulation, shoplifting, and fleeing to avoid arrest.
