Sisk and Burnett are both from Greenville, S.C.
In the late afternoon, the Boone Police Department issued a “be-on-the-lookout” alert as the vehicle Sisk was driving headed south on N.C. 105 towards Avery County.
A deputy eventually pulled the vehicle over on Broadstone Road, and Sisk immediately fled the vehicle on foot, according to a deputy’s shift report. Sisk was apprehended after a short foot chase.
Both were taken into custody under a $75,000 bond and charged with five counts of possessing counterfeit currency, larceny of motor fuel, attempting to pass off the counterfeit currency and felony conspiracy.
