FORT WORTH, Texas – Charles Ray Fuller must have been planning one big 
record company.

The 21-year-old North Texas man was arrested last week for trying to cash 
a $360 billion [yes, that's BILLION with a "B"] check, saying he wanted to 
start a record business, authorities said. Tellers at the Fort Worth bank 
were immediately suspicious – perhaps the 10 zeros on a personal check 
tipped them off, according to investigators.

Fuller, of suburban Crowley, was arrested on a forgery charge, police 
said. He was released after posting $3,750 bail.
 
Fuller said his girlfriend's mother gave him the check to start a record 
business, but bank employees who contacted the account's owner said the 
woman told them she did not give him permission to take or cash the check, 
according to police.

In addition to forgery, Fuller was charged with unlawfully carrying a 
weapon and possessing marijuana, Fort Worth police Lt. Paul Henderson said.

Officers reported finding marijuana and a .25-caliber handgun and magazine 
in his pockets, police said.
