Chuck Shepherd says, “Once again, a genius tried to pass a piece of U.S. currency in an amount not even close to being legal tender, a $1 million bill, apparently expecting change of $999,524.22.”
And leave it up to Bob Walsh to refer to Walmart customers as Walmartians.
COPS: MAN TRIED TO USE $1 MILLION BILL AT WALMART
Associated Press
December 31, 2011
LEXINGTON, N.C. (AP) - Do you have change for a million-dollar bill?
Police say a North Carolina man insisted his million-dollar note was real when he was buying $476 worth of items at a Walmart.
Investigators told the Winston-Salem Journal that 53-year-old Michael Fuller tried to buy a vacuum cleaner, a microwave oven and other items. Store employees called police after his insistence that the bill was legit, and Fuller was arrested.
The largest bill in circulation is $100. The government stopped making bills of up to $10,000 in 1969.
Fuller was charged with attempting to obtain property by false pretense and uttering a forged instrument. He is in jail on a $17,500 bond, and it isn't clear if he has an attorney. He is scheduled to be in court today.
