Mohegan, Conn. — Two men were arrested Sunday at Mohegan Sun after they paid for a meal with what police believe was counterfeit money, police said.
Alexander Pignataro, 21, of 64 Cross Road, Waterford, and Constaninos Belezos, 20, of 98 Greenhill Road, Westwood, Mass., were at the Birches Bar & Grill at about 4:40 a.m. when they left two $20 bills as payment for food, police said.
“It was discovered that both bills had the same serial numbers and appeared to be counterfeit,” a police news release said. The men were traced back to the casino hotel and arrested.
Both are charged with first degree forgery, sixth-degree conspiracy to commit larceny and sixth-degree larceny. They are scheduled to appear Nov. 12 in Norwich Superior Court.
