NASHVILLE, Aug. 26 (UPI) -- A Tennessee man confessed to using his computer to counterfeit $100 bills to pay strippers at a club in Nashville, it was reported Sunday.

Damon Armagost, of Smryna, pleaded guilty Friday to printing $1,400 in counterfeit bills from the image of $100 bill he downloaded on his computer, The (Nashville) Tennessean reported.

Armagost spent $600 in counterfeit money in April on strippers who became suspicious and called police, who recognized the counterfeit bills as all having the same number as fake money passed elsewhere in the country, the newspaper reported.

"Secret Service agents went to Armagost's home in Smyrna to interview him, and a family member informed the agents that they had recently observed the image of a $100 bill on their computer," prosecutors said Saturday. Armagost is to be sentenced Nov. 5 in U.S. District Court.
