Salina Police are investigating the passing of a counterfeit bill at a local restaurant.

Captain Mike Sweeney tells the Salina Post that a counterfeit $50 bill was passed by someone at Bogey’s, 1417 S. 9th, sometime between 8:00 a.m. and Noon on May 21st.

The bill was discovered in a bank deposit made by the restaurant at Bennington State Bank, 2130 S. Ohio.
