Arriving units discovered a male was attempting to pass a counterfeit one hundred dollar bill. After an investigation, Deputies arrested the suspect, Robert Daniel Cartwright, and charged him with forgery.

Good going Walmart Security and MCSO….what were they buying…some methy feedstock ?
Another thief named Robert (Allen Stanford) couldn’t have gone as far as he did with poor grooming and looking like a sub-educated greaser but conning 28,000 people out of $7 billion worldwide requires a bit more spit and polish than coloring on toilet paper with crayons trying to steal $100 from Walmart does. Proves my theory that tiny brains can’t think big.
