Ga. Man Tries to Deposit Fake $1M Bill
Every so often, a story like the one above surfaces. Every time, the perpetrator winds up arrested. Somehow, in my old-school, baby boomer mind, the phrase “fake million dollar bill” implies that there’s a real one someplace, which of course is false.
If he’d tried to deposit Monopoly money, would that have led to a forgery charge?
In this case, the charges of disorderly conduct for raising a ruckus in the bank, and forgery for buying smokes with a stolen check, were probably OK.

This happened precisely 15 minutes from where I live.
It’s a shame that they didn’t get a comment from the sheriff for the story… his name is Mike Hunt.
