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. Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy GrandIsland  posted on  2015-02-05   8:13:08 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #2. To: GrandIsland (#1) (Edited) They should have dedicated one employee to cash this tool bag out, even if it took 3 or 4 hours. 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.

To: GrandIsland, TooConservative (#1) I have a feeling this is another case where more things happened than was reported. Judging from his actions, I would have to guess that he went there looking for confrontation and he may have initiated one.

But the genuine asshattery probably lacks any real justification. Let alone refusing to leave a government office or resisting arrest when police were called.

Not really fair to treat the lackey like shit when they are just a .... Lackey, i guess. Not fair for the upper management types to hide behind lackeys either. But who wants to deal with the nuts.

To: Gatlin (#0) Tightly folded $1 bills, such that it require tax office personnel six minutes to unfold each bill? Taxpayers do not have the right to impose ridiculous burdens on government employees. Nobody does. It's simple: you owe money, pay it. We do not have to accept it in a form that will take us 60 hours to be sure that you've actually paid us. Pay us properly or leave. If you leave without paying us properly, you have not paid us. Period. Government workers are not any more required to put up with bullshit than anybody else is. He was asked to leave for disrupting the operations of the office. So, was he arrested for refusing to leave? Probably. Was he arrested for standing there and stupidly (and wrongly) braying that the officials there had to put up with him, and had to do as he said, and had to spend 60 man-hours unfolding his stupid bills? Most assuredly that's what he was really arrested for. He had no right to impose payment under those conditions. And he had no right to simply occupy a public office. Had he come in, offered these bills, and then been told: go away and bring us back unfolded bills, or go to the bank and bring back twenties, or any other unreasonable request, he wouldn't have been arrested. But he was trying to make a point, obnoxiously. And then he wouldn't leave. So he was arrested. Vicomte13  posted on  2015-02-05   19:20:25 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #8.
