For many shoppers, a trip to Walmart can be a way to save money. But for Douglas Brian Osborne, it was allegedly a way to make money -- using a printer to counterfeit $600 in funny money.
Investigators in Gainesville, Fla., say Osborne purchased a printer from the Lake City megastore on March 10 and promptly attempted to pass off the bogus bucks before being busted later that day, The Gainesville Sun reports.
The 30-year-old suspect allegedly tried to spend this fabricated fortune at Stubbies & Stein's restaurant. But an employee apparently refused to accept the questionable cash, so Osborne paid with real money.
When officers confronted the suspect, they reportedly found him carrying phony $5, $10 and $20 bills.
Investigators then searched a car owned by the suspect's girlfriend, where they reportedly recovered more than a dozen homemade $20 bills -- as well as paper and the newly purchased printer.
Osborne -- who reportedly claimed he learned how to make fake money from a friend -- has been charged with two counts of using counterfeit money, possession of counterfeit money with the intent to use it, possession of a device to make counterfeit money and resisting arrest.
