Batesville Police say a female tried to pass a counterfeit $100 bill at a Batesville Sonic Drive-In without success.
Officer Chris Rogers said an employee took the “funny money” with the female saying she wanted her change in twenty dollar bills.
The Sonic employee said when she took the $100 bill inside, she could tell it was a fake.
The female left the scene before officers arrived, police say.
