Tennessee woman is
really giving Florida woman a run for her money
Two women sought to use a $1 million bill to purchase merchandise at a Dollar General store in Tennessee, police report.
According to investigators, the duo appeared last Monday morning at the convenience store in Maryville, a Knoxville suburb. Their attempt to use the counterfeit bill was thwarted by a sentient Dollar General employee who called the cops.
A sheriff’s deputy dispatched to the Dollar General for a “suspicious incident,” spoke with Amanda McCormick, 39, who possessed the counterfeit bill. McCormick, who lives about four miles from the store, was accompanied by a relative, Linda Johnson, 61.
Sadly, the police report does not address several obvious questions: Why did McCormick think a church would give her a million bucks? Was McCormick actually under the impression that the United States Mint has produced $1 million bills? Did she plan on loading the gift cards with six-digit sums? Or did she expect the Dollar General (pictured below) to make change? (1 page)
