At least Michael Anthony "Mee Mee" Fuller can pay his lawyer

A month and a half ago, I wrote about Michael Anthony "Mee Mee" Fuller. He is the person who is alleged to have gone into a Wal Mart in Lexington, North Carolina on November 17, 2011 and who tried to pay for his purchases with a one million dollar bill.

Yes, a one million dollar bill.

At the time, I noted that Fuller had court dates on January 3 and January 16 - the latter court date appears to have resulted from some jail incident.

Fuller continues to wind through the court system.

Arraigned Offenses for Case Number: 2011057886 CR
Arraigned Defendant Name: FULLER,MICHAEL,ANTHONY
County: DAVIDSON
Court Date: 03/05/2012
Session: AM
Court Room: 00A1

Offense Code Description Statute
2631 Felony ATT OBTAIN PROP FALSE PRETENSE 14-100
2524 Felony UTTERING FORGED INSTRUMENT 14-120

For my European readers, I should clarify that this refers to a March 5 court date, not a May 3 court date. Although it's quite possible that this case may still be winding through the courts on May 3.

When I visited the Davidson County criminal court page, the March 5 schedule for the District court in room 00A1 had not been posted, so I don't know if Fuller is still being represented by Laura Hedrick.

Mikel Kelly looked at the Fuller story back on January 26, and it gave him the opportunity to repeat an old joke.

The other thought that crossed my mind when I hear about this $1 million bill-wielding character was the old joke about the stupid counterfeiters who accidentally printed a bunch of $18 bills and decided they'd go out into the boondocks to a very rural country store to pass them off.

"Got change for an 18?" they asked the clerk wearing bib overalls.

"Why, shore," he replied. "Whattaya want, three sixes or two nines?"
