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 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 .
