DOBBS FERRY, N.Y. -- A pizzeria owner has been accused of making his own dough, counterfeit money, in a room behind the oven. Police said Wednesday that they found $6,000 in fake bills, along with printing equipment and cutting devices, in a back office at The Brick Oven Pizza Shop, near the village Police Department.

Frank Donato, 39, of Dobbs Ferry, owner of the restaurant and an adjacent ice cream stand, was arrested Tuesday and charged with 16 counts of forgery. Sgt. Harold Young said in a statement that Donato had used the equipment "to print and subsequently distribute counterfeit United States currency."

Donato pleaded innocent at his arraignment and posted $7,500 bail on Wednesday, said his attorney, Bruce Bendish.

Bendish said the equipment seized was "what you'd consider standard equipment in any kind of business." He said he would need time to investigate the charges and expected the case to be adjourned on Thursday.

Any special galleries? Their general galleries are nothing impressive if you've already been through them dozens of times.

 

[Abaddon]

uggh, just using that site was a *****.



I checked out the European Art and Arms and Armory sections. Some cool stuff, but not like i was hoping.

 

[jaguarr]

uggh, just using that site was a *****.

Yeah, it's clearly a work in progress, but the potential for something very cool is there.

[Abaddon]

I guess, but google maps does pretty much the same thing.

 

[jaguarr]

The thing that was interesting to me about it is that it offered a way for people to interact and make recommendations, which isn't something I haven't seen on Google Maps. The potential to share favorite haunts and places other folks might not discover on their own or from a Google search is pretty cool.

Great great place, but I don't think I'd ever want to live there.

I'll be wasting my evening away working, playing babysitter for some middleschooler at a "mascarade ball".

 

[tzarinna]

I think most are celebrating tonight anyway.

 

[Abaddon]

I was thinking of going to the Halloween parade or whatever, but I don't even have a costume. Plus it's a school night. God I feel young.

 

[tzarinna]

I have no desire to dress up this year. God, I feel old.

I'll be there! I'm always there. **** school. Though I have work at 11 the next day. But I'll be fine.

I'm a mime this year.

 

[NDX]

This year I wanted to dress up for the first time since middle school, and I always feel old.

There's always next year.

I miss my home. Greatest city ever.
