Timothy Norris, 27 was charged with criminal trespassing for
the Jan. 28 incident in the north Texas city of Wichita Falls.
He has been released on $500 bond and was not immediately
available for comment.
Among the cash Norris took to the tax office was a bundle of
tightly folded $1 bills that took staff several minutes each to
unfold, the Wichita Falls Times Record News reported. County tax
officials would not comment.
Tax officials requested the bills be unfolded so that they could
count the money, and this prompted Norris to launch an
anti-government rant where he showed his anger about paying
taxes, the sheriff's office said.
He was arrested after refusing to leave the office.
"He was very belligerent and aggressive," said Jill Gann, a
spokeswoman for the sheriff's office. She added the tax office
accepts cash, in all forms.
