You Ought to Be in (Mug Shot) Pictures
“Cash office” employees at a Walmart store in Deltona, Fla., noticed a stack of 76 $100 bills looked funny, so they called in a manager. The manager found they were fake — printed with the words “For Motion Picture Use Only” — and put them in an envelope in a separate area of the safe. Later, the fake money disappeared. There are multiple security cameras in the cash office, so they looked at the recordings and allegedly saw Xiomara Matias-Cruz, 32, looking for something in the safe. After finding the envelope, she took something out, left the store, and drove away — just 15 minutes after her shift started.

They noted in their report that she refused to speak to them without a lawyer present.
