Title: Texas man arrested after attempt to pay taxes with tightly folded dollar bills

A Texas man was arrested last month after he refused to leave the county tax office while attempting to pay his property tax using tightly folded $1 bills.

An arrest affidavit indicates Timothy Andrew Norris, 27, was asked by a tax collector to leave the Wichita County building on Jan. 28 for disrupting the operations of the office.

The Wichita Falls Times Record News reported Norris was attempting to pay a $600 property tax using the $1 bills. The paper reported that the bills were so tightly folded, it "required tax office personnel approximately six minutes to unfold each bill."

The affidavit says Norris pulled away from a deputy who was attempting to place him in handcuffs. He eventually was wrestled to the ground, placed in custody and charged with criminal trespass and resisting arrest.

As of Monday he was no longer being held at the Wichita County jail. Wichita Falls is located northwest of Dallas.

Ive seen people try and pay traffic fines with pennies because they are so disgruntled. I really can't see a chargeable offense. His money is "legal tender". They should have dedicated one employee to cash this tool bag out, even if it took 3 or 4 hours.

I can't see the charges sticking... on the other hand, it wasn't the office clerks fault his taxes were 600.00... his behavior punished the wrong person. It's kinda like making it hard for a road cop to do his job just because you don't like the laws the elected officials put in place.

I tend to agree but what do you do if you have a small county office and 5,000 people decided to pull this trick?

I want to be on this guy's side but he didn't just pay with $1 bills. He deliberately made it hard to unfold them and verify them. I don't think you should require people and government agencies to accept legal tender that has been treated this way.

Pay it in ones if you must but don't mishandle the bills with malice. And it does seem a certain malice has to attach to this act.

OTOH, I'd be 1000% behind this guy if he hadn't pulled this bill-folding smart-assery. Or resisted arrest after the office officials demanded he leave the office and return with suitable payment.

He should have paid them with pennies and super-glued them together.
