RILEY COUNTY— Law enforcement authorities are investigating more counterfeit cash in Kansas. 

According to the Riley County Police Department, a fake $100 bill was used in an attempt to make a purchase at a business in Manhattan on Monday. 

Police identified 52-year-old David Voter of Manhattan as the individual who used this bill. Police issued him a Notice to Appear for attempted theft.

Even though police identified the responsible party, police advised the public to be aware this fake money may appear at other businesses in the area.

Earlier in October, police in Cowley County arrested a suspect for allegedly spending counterfeit $100 bills.  The Norton County sheriff  reported counterfeit bills were circulating in portions of northwest Kansas.

In September the sheriff's office in Haskell County reported counterfeit cash. During the month of June, authorities in Finney County took 16 reports of counterfeit money.
