SiliconFreak -> Man Arrested For Paying For Service At Best Buy With $2 bills !! (4/6/2005 8:00:09 PM)

The article is dated March 8th, but this is the first that I've seen of it. WOW is all I can say...just WOW. The man used fifty-seven $2 bills to pay for the installation charge on his son's CD player and ended up getting slapped with a pair of metal bracelets:
PUT YOURSELF in Mike Bolesta's place. On the morning of Feb. 20, he buys a new radio-CD player for his 17-year-old son Christopher's car. He pays the $114 installation charge with 57 crisp new $2 bills, which, when last observed, were still considered legitimate currency in the United States proper. The $2 bills are Bolesta's idea of payment, and his little comic protest, too.
For this, Bolesta, Baltimore County resident, innocent citizen, owner of Capital City Student Tours, finds himself under arrest.
Finds himself, in front of a store full of customers at the Best Buy on York Road in Lutherville, locked into handcuffs and leg irons.
Finds himself transported to the Baltimore County lockup in Cockeysville, where he's handcuffed to a pole for three hours while the U.S. Secret Service is called into the case.
Have a nice day, Mike.
