(KAIR)--An investigation launched late last year, focused on counterfeit currency passed in Atchison, has led to an arrest.

According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, 28-year-old Atchison resident Robert Lynch was taken into custody Saturday. He was arrested on an Atchison County District Court warrant for counterfeiting currency and theft.

Following his arrest, Lynch was booked into the Atchison County Jail.

His bond is set at $10,000.

According to Wilson, the investigation that led to Lynch began after a fake $100 bill was used in a transaction made at an unspecified Atchison business on December 17, 2020.
