FORT WORTH -- An aspiring record label owner is singing the blues after he
was arrested last week for allegedly trying to pass a $360 billion check at
a Fort Worth bank.
Employees at the Chase Bank at 8601 S. Hulen St. grew suspicious after
seeing all those zeroes (10 to be exact) and called the check's owner. The
woman said the suspect, Charles Ray Fuller, 21, of Crowley, is her
daughter¹s boyfriend and that he did not have permission to take the check
or cash it.
Fuller was arrested on suspicion of fraud, along with unlawfully carrying a
weapon and possession of marijuana after officers found less than 2 ounces
of the drug and a .25-caliber handgun and magazine in his pockets.
While inside a patrol car, police say Fuller blurted out that he is starting
his own record label and had been given the money by his girlfriend¹s mother
to help him start it.
Apparently breaking into the music business does not come cheap.
Luckily for him, bail was a lot less expensive. Fuller was released from
Mansfield Jail on Thursday after posting $3,750 bail.
