CHESTERFIELD TOWNSHIP, MI - A man who police say tried to pass a counterfeit check at a Wal-Mart chose the wrong store at the wrong time. Dozens of officers were at the suburban Detroit store helping needy children pick out items as part of an annual "Shop with a Cop" charity event. That didn't stop Calvin E. Fluckes Jr., 21, from pulling into the parking lot next to 40 marked squad cars, police said. He apparently was unfazed by the police presence as he tried to pay for merchandise with a poorly photocopied check for $847.83. The cashier called over a manager, who alerted one of the 80 officers who happened to be in the store. "He was immediately apprehended," Chesterfield Township police Lt. David Marker told the Detroit Free Press. "I can't even imagine what he was thinking." Fluckes was arraigned Wednesday on one count of uttering and publishing. He was being held in the Macomb County Jail on $2,000 bail. He could face up to 14 years in prison if convicted, The Detroit News reported. |
