A man with more than $900 in cash on him, walked into a clothing store and a supermarket and shoplifted various items.
When arrested, police noticed that he had four outstanding warrants against him and demanded that he post $400 bail.
The accused must have given the situation some thought. The next day he returned to the police station, arguing that he should have only left $200, and asked for a refund.
Turns out however, that this man who had been arrested with more than $900 in cash, had paid part of his bail with counterfeit bills. Not all the money he had with him was counterfeit.
You Can’t Teach Stupid
Detective William Covert told the local news that the counterfeit bills were of poor quality. “One of my favorite sayings is, you can’t teach stupid, because every day something else comes up and you just shake your head.”
