Man Arrested Trying To Cash $360 Billion Check

[Teacher Mark 53]

FORT WORTH, Texas -Charles Ray Fuller must have been planning one big record company. The 21-year-old North Texas man was arrested last week for trying to cash a $360 billion check, saying he wanted to start a record business, authorities said. Tellers at the Fort Worth bank were immediately suspicious - perhaps the 10 zeros on a personal check tipped them off, according to investigators.

Fuller, of suburban Crowley, was arrested on a forgery charge, police said. He was released after posting $3,750 bail.

Fuller said his girlfriend's mother gave him the check to start a record business, but bank employees who contacted the account's owner said the woman told them she did not give him permission to take or cash the check, according to police.

In addition to forgery, Fuller was charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon and possessing marijuana, Fort Worth police Lt. Paul Henderson said.

Officers reported finding less than 2 ounces of marijuana and a .25-caliber handgun and magazine in his pockets, police said.

Fuller couldn't be located for comment by The Associated Press on Friday because there were no phone listings for him in the Fort Worth area.

He's better off watching the movie OCEAN 11 if he wants to pull such a heist. Doesn't he realize it at his age.

what an idiot.

Well he's the State's idiot now! Maybe that was the plan. "O.K., I may get 360,000,000,000 or, worst case, I get 3 hots and a cot"! It's the proverbial win,win situation.

Wait, we should'nt judge him. He did plan ahead. He brought along a gun to protect his business start up funds. And some pot so he could be at his best for his first business transaction.

I mean it should have worked fine if all the people working at the bank were on crack. And if after the transaction all the banks records and computers were destroyed.

It's only his first business adventure, give him a chance.

I think under the new banking regulations they should just cash these and ask questions later. A guy like this is sure to spend it all at Wal-Mart. Its good for the economy.

Originally he had 4 ounces of pot. He'd already smoked one half before he marched into that bank.
