Man attacked for trying to buy drugs with Monopoly money A Kansas man told police officers that he had been beaten and left with a head wound after he tried to buy drugs using Monopoly money.
The unidentified 33-year-old was pulled over in a traffic stop in Wichita, Kansas last Thursday, and was found to be bleeding from the head. He told officers he had attempted to buy several hundred dollars worth of crack cocaine using money from the popular capitalism-simulation game.
Police spokesman Gordon Bassham said: 'The man from whom he had bought the drugs was upset and invited him over to his house and upon arrival struck him in the head several times with a handgun and other people jumped into the fray.' The man's injuries were not serious, and he has now stopped cooperating with the police's investigation. Authorities are still searching for his assailants.
