Got Change for a Million? Stupid Criminal Tried to Pass $1 Million Bill

Here’s the story of a guy who tried to pass a $1 million bill at his local supermarket:


Change for a million?

That’s what a man was seeking Saturday when he handed a $1 million bill to a cashier at a Giant Eagle supermarket on Pittsburgh’s North Side.

But when the employee refused and a manager confiscated the bogus bill, Samuel Porter flew into a rage, police said.

Porter slammed an electronic funds-transfer machine into the counter and reached for a scanner gun, police said.

Police arrested Porter, 66, who was not carrying identification and refused to give his name to authorities. He is being held in the Allegheny County Jail.

    Why did he reach for the scanner gun? Did he think he could shoot somebody?
