OAKLAND PARK, Fla. -- A Broward County sheriff's deputy who was investigating an auto tag discovered fake money inside a man's hotel room on Wednesday, police said.

The Broward Sheriff's Office said a deputy spotted a car in a hotel parking lot in the 5800 block of North Andrews Avenue that matched the description of a stolen vehicle. When the officer looked up the auto tag number, he realized that the car was registered to a man wanted on drug-related charges, BSO said.

The deputy found out that someone matching the wanted man's description was staying in two rooms of the hotel.

In the first room, deputies said they found Peter Lehman, 20, and several photocopies of $20 bills. BSO said there were a pair of scissors, scraps of paper, a computer and a color printer, and it looked like someone had been cutting out the phony bills.

Deputies went to the second room, where Lehman's sister was staying, and found more fake $20 bills, BSO said.

Police said Lehman told them he had created the phony money for a music video. Lehman's sister denied knowing anything about it, BSO said.

A U.S. Secret Service agent who investigated agreed that the bills were fake. Lehman was arrested and faces a charge of counterfeiting.
