COEUR d'ALENE - He was tall and shifty, so really, what else can you expect?
A Starbucks coffee shop in Coeur d'Alene reported a man passed a fake $50 bill on Tuesday.
According to a police report, an employee remembered "a tall shifty looking guy" place an order shortly before closing around 7 p.m. The man paid with a $50 bill.
A manager later noticed the bill looked counterfeit and took it to a bank.
"The bill was obviously fictitious," the report said. "There were no water marks and the coloring was different than legitimate bills."
Police took the bill as evidence.
