A Pennsylvania man was arrested for allegedly having $3,300 worth of counterfeit bills at a casino.

Pennsylvania State Police say that around 2:40 a.m., Justin Gehlert of Warminster attempted to exchange a suspected counterfeit $100 bill at Parx Casino.

A casino employee in the “main cage” notified security, and Gehlert was taken to the State Police office. Once there, Troopers say it was discovered that Gehlert had 33 counterfeit $100 bills.

Gehlert was charged with 33 felony counts of forgery and 33 misdemeanors for possession of an instrument of crime with intent.
