Two unidentified Kean students were arrested inside the University Center Cafeteria after trying to pay for food with a counterfeit $10 bill on December 3rd.
The two suspects were arrested by the Kean University police around 3 p.m. when they attempted to order two taco salads with the counterfeit bill in question.
An unknown cashier performed a basic test with a counterfeit pen when the bill failed. It was alleged that the bill was the wrong color. The cashier alerted the cafeteria manager.
Two managers took the bill to a back office and placed it under Ultra Violet light using a special desktop lamp. Kean police were notified after the bill failed the lamp test.
The two men were standing by the cash registers when the bill went for review. Police responded ten minutes after the call and the two men were arrested and taken to Kean police headquarters, located at Downs Hall. Cafeteria staff and most students interviewed on the scene were unable to give further details.
It is standard procedure to test all cash denominations above ten dollars with a counterfeit pen to determine its authenticity.
One cashier stated that there was a similar incident two weeks ago with an unknown female that involved a suspect counterfeit $20 bill. The bill was tested and was determined to be legit. No other sources were able to either confirm or comment.
The cashier alleged that the unknown female was a professor.
Regarding the incident, both Kean police and university public relations have not provided statements or comments by the date of publication.
