<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->COVINGTON, Georgia (AP) -- A Georgia woman who tried to use a fake $1 million bill to buy $1,675 worth of merchandise at Wal-Mart was arrested, and police later found two more of the bills in her purse.

The U.S. Treasury does not make $1 million bills, but similar-looking currency is sold in some souvenir shops. The fake bill featured a picture of the Statue of Liberty, police said.

"It looks real, but of course there's nothing real about this," said Stacey Cotton, police chief in Covington, about 30 miles southeast of Atlanta. "People do crazy things all the time."

A store clerk immediately noticed the bill was fake when 35-year-old Alice Regina Pike handed it to her on Friday, Cotton said.

Pike then tried to use two gift cards worth only $2.32 to buy the merchandise, but when that did not work she again asked to cash the $1 million bill, Cotton said. The store then called police.

Pike was jailed on forgery charges. A woman who answered the phone at the jail said she did not know if Pike has a lawyer.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    Officer returns stolen goods to suspected thief

    A bungling police officer accidentally returned jewellery worth ?320 to a mugger accused of stealing it.

    The suspected thief was arrested after allegedly snatching a gold cross and earrings from her 18-year-old victim.

    Officers recovered the valuables, but when the female suspect was released after questioning, an officer accidentally handed back the haul to her.

    Officers from Hastings in Sussex later visited the suspect's home to try and retrieve the jewels.

    But she said she had sold them and police were unable to take any further action.

    Sussex Police were unable to say what caused the jewellery mix-up, reports The Sun.
