Cops and Crooks
Sometimes it is difficult to tell the difference between the cops and the crooks, and such is the case for the cops in Vinita, Oklahoma called in to crack the case of who passed the funny money at the Wal-Mart.
Vinita Assistant Chief Of Police Barry Armstrong was quoted in media reports as saying that the Vinita PD was called after a clerk received four counterfeit $100 bills at a Vinita Wal-Mart on October 17th.
When Vinita Police arrived on the scene they confirmed that the four $100 bills were in fact funny money and set out to look at the Wal-Mart surveillance video in an effort to identify the culprit.
According to Vinita cops they had no problem in determining the culprit as it was allegedly none other than Fairland, Oklahoma Police Chief William Moore.
According to Assistant Chief Armstrong, “He was on Wal-Mart surveillance video in his police department uniform, and they have him on video presenting money to the clerk”.
The Vinita police say that the counterfeit $100 bills Moore tried to pass actually all had the same serial number, no watermark, and no security strips.
The funny money was turned over to the Secret Service which tends to take this sort of thing very seriously and which is reportedly investigating Moore.
William Moore is now the former Chief of Police of Fairland, Oklahoma, a town which just three years ago went through the experience of having its then Police Chief Clint Walker arrested for public drunk and subsequently fired.
Fairland officials have named police officer Tony Wiseley as acting police chief.
Reckon the folks in Fairland would do better if they paid their Chief of Police enough that he didn’t have to resort to a life of crime?
