(ATCHISON, Ks.) An Atchison teenager - caught with hundreds of dollars worth of counterfeit money - is headed to prison.

A judge sentenced Keante Green, 19, Friday to 27 months in prison on two counts of making false information.

Police arrested Green last December after he tried to pass fake bills at a grocery store and a restaurant.

During Green's arrest, police found several counterfeit 100-dollar bills on him along with marijuana.

Atchison County Attorney Gerald Kuckelman told KAIR that using false documents in Kansas - including cash - is a level 8 felony.
