Man Arrested After Trying to Cash $360 Billion Check

A 21-year-old Texas man was arrested last week for trying to cash a stolen check of $360 billion at a Chase Bank.

The bank’s tellers couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw the 10 zeros on the check, and they immediately became suspicious.

They noticed the check was made out to “Fulla Comp and Entertainment,” the record company Charles Ray Fuller wanted to found, NBC 5 reported.

Fuller, of Crowley, was arrested on a forgery charge, police reported. He had apparently stolen the check from Paula Prettyman, the mother of Fuller’s girlfriend, Andrea Greer.

Fuller said his girlfriend’s mother gave him the check to help him start the record company, but when bank employees called Prettyman, she said she had not given the man permission to take the check or cash it.

"I wouldn't picture him doing something that stupid, I mean, hurting me and my family," Greer said, according to NBC 5.

"I didn't think he'd do this, something this dumb. I think it shocked everybody that knew him," she said.

According to the Associated Press, police reported finding more than 50 grams of marijuana, as well as a .25 caliber handgun, in Fuller’s pocket.
