Meet the Woman Who Tried To Pass a $1 Million Dollar Bill
The Smoking Gun ^ | 3/9/04

Posted on 03/09/2004 1:09:03 PM PST by marshmallow

MARCH 9--Meet Alice Regina Pike. The 35-year-old Georgia woman must think Wal-Mart cashiers are rather dumb, because she actually just tried to pass a $1 million bill at one of the retail chain's megastores.

According to this amusing Covington Police Department report, Pike was attempting to pay for $1671.55 in merchandise, but a Wal-Mart clerk called over her manager when she was handed the bogus bill (instead of handing over $998,328.45 in change). As first reported by Joey Peters of the Newton Citizen, Pike was arrested for forgery and booked into the sheriff's lockup, where the below mug shot was taken.

Pike, who told cops that her husband had given her the $1 million bill, was found to have two more phony seven-figure notes in her purse. Perhaps she would have fared better with a $200 bill.

Apparently the beauty salon and day spa don't take $1 million billes either.

Cause she was interested in getting some "change" back.
