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
Tuesday.
