A man trying to pay a fee using $2 bills was arrested, handcuffed and taken to jail after clerks at a Best Buy store questioned the currency’s legitimacy and called police.

[NYFreeper]

Idiots at Best Buy and Baltimore police.

[ptsal]

Lawyers.... will have fun with this one....$$$

[Sacajaweau]

I probably have a dozen $2 bills.

[Perdogg]

He is about to get a whole bunch of $2.00 bills.

[Berosus]

I take it only the customer was old enough to remember when $2 bills were printed (most recently in 1976).

[MUDDOG]

Thanks. Won’t use my dollar coins.

[metmom]

Like someone would be idiot enough to use something that obviously fake if they were trying to scam someone.

Kids these days. They have no clue about $2 bills.

They have no clue about anything.

[latina4dubya]

sound familiar? haha!

[Venturer]

I get them from the bank and use them for tips at Restaurants. The server always remembers me when I return, I get great service.

The 2$ bill is one of the prettiest bills.

Oh this is just PRICELESS:

"Commenting on the incident, Baltimore County police spokesman Bill Toohey told the Sun: “It’s a sign that we’re all a little nervous in the post-9/11 world.”"

No you retard, it's a sign, alright.

That you are stupid, and should be fired from your cushy job.

Not like the guy handed the cashier a ticking timebomb.

Commenting on the incident, Baltimore County police spokesman Bill Toohey told the Sun: “It’s a sign that we’re all a little nervous in the post-9/11 world.”

More likely it's a sign we've all gone koo-koo in a post-rational world.

[Jonty30]

Not as pretty as the $500 bill.

Commenting on the incident, Baltimore County police spokesman Bill Toohey told the Sun: “It’s a sign that we’re all a little nervous in the post-9/11 world.”

Bill Toohey, the Baltimore County police “paid liar” made the following totally ignorant statement as an excuse for totally ignorant behavior by the Baltimore County police: “It’s a sign that we’re all a little nervous in the post-9/11 world.”

So it’s OK to arrest someone just because no one including the police don’t recognize legal tender?

[Revolting cat!]

What’s the price of a false arrest nowadays? Can the boy retire on it?

[MeshugeMikey]

not even a obama zombie could be dumb enough to think ANYBODY would think of counterfeiting TWO dollar bills....... could they??

[muir_redwoods]

That is just so sad. It does make it easier to understand how that asshat got elected twice.

[PAR35]

He’s going to end up with a nice payday if he can get it before Best Buy goes belly up.

[kaehurowing]

He should have used Susan B. Anthony dollar coins instead. But they would probably claim they were a quarter.
