U-W police say a Madison man they arrested on the campus Tuesday was carrying 13 thousand dollars in counterfeit money in his backpack.
26-year-old Ishmael Riley spent the fake cash at least three times.
When one employee challenged him, Riley reportedly became argumentative with a pair of scissors in his hand and threatened staff members.
Investigators with U-W-P-D used security cameras to identify him and take Riley into custody.
The case has been referred to the U-S Secret Service.
The suspect has no connection to U-W-Madison.
