From Staff Reports

A man has been accused of attempting to pass a $360 billion check, which he claims was given to him by his girlfriend’s mother to start a record business, Fort Worth police said.

Charles Ray Fuller, 21, of Crowley, was arrested on April 22 on an accusation of forgery, police said.

Police responded to a report of a man attempting to pass the check about 4 p.m. that day at the Chase bank in the 8600 block of South Hulen Street, Fort Worth police Lt. Paul Henderson said.

The personal check was not made out to Mr. Fuller and when the bank contacted the check owner, the woman said she did not write a check for $360 billion.

Mr. Fuller was also accused of unlawful carrying of a weapon and possession of marijuana, Lt. Henderson said. He may also face a theft charge in Crowley.

Lt. Henderson said he did not know if Mr. Fuller and his girlfriend were still together.

How sneaky...

Hey, I used to do that when I was five. Maybe that's what he has.

[Razor Shines]

Boy, oh boy would I love to hear how that conversation with the bank teller went. I don't know, maybe Steel can give it to us.

And his vote counts just as much as yours or mine...

It reminds me of the old Bob & Ray routine about the bank teller whose paycheck was made out wrong, for millions and millions of dollars and the bank is pleading with her not to cash it because it will ruin them, etc.

I received a 6/29/2007 earning statement for the amount of $59,796.78

(I know that's chump change for most of you guys...wrong decimal point in the "hours worked" column...and yes, it was direct-deposited into my checking account...fortunately, payroll "corrected" it before I got audited)

I also have an uncashed money order from some guy in Nigeria...but hey, who doesn't?

I am shocked SHOCKED that he had marijuana on his person. SHOCKED!!!!

I hear a dime bag of pot is really expensive nowadays.

Maybe this was an ingenious way, by the GF's mother, to finally put an end to her daughter's relationship with this pothead?.... "Here's a check for 36 billion. Run down to the store and get me a 2 liter of Mountain Dew and a case of Hostess Ho-Hos, and keep the change!" :

It was $360 Billion, Mole Man.

Yeah, get it straight, GAC. If it had been 36 million like you said, it might have worked.

And a firearm to boot.

That's extra style points right there.

And a firearm to boot.

That's extra style points right there.

Plus another couple years mandatory time on the firearm specification for the indictment.

I'm surprised it wasn't this guy
