Man arrested, cuffed after using $2 bills
Best Buy customer on being jailed: 'At this point, I'm a mass murderer'

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.

According to an account in the Baltimore Sun, 57-year-old Mike Bolesta was shocked to find himself taken to the Baltimore County lockup in Cockeysville, Md., where he was handcuffed to a pole for three hours while the U.S. Secret Service was called to weigh in on the case.

No one would call it frivilous.

Hard to believe that anyone would not believe a $2 bill is legal currency!

BTW, that dude that was selling clocks with my car on em has NOT offered any more with my photo on it. Must have got scared off. He is still selling other car clocks, but not the one I got.

This isn't the first time a $2 has gotten someone into the shit.

At least he didn't get handcuffed to a pole. Wonder if a full body cavity search (with roto-arm action) was required (or requested)?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm SOOO glad I'm done with those bastards. Now I go in to look and just laugh at the conversations I hear.

My favorite story in this ilk...
