I hate it when checks bounce. More importantly, so does God who has extremely high overdraft charges. This bozo better forward that check this way and if I were him, I'd pray that it clears the bank or I see a river of blood and warm piss headed his way....

It's nice that his girlfriend's mother had so much faith in his business acumen!
I didn't click through to the story, but is the actual charge forgery or just depositing the check? It's not his fault if she wrote him a check she couldn't cover, is it?

She said she didn't write the check. The "Pay to the Order of" field was blank. I don't think the article said if there was enough money in the account to cover the check.

Unless that check came from ExxonMobil's offshore bank account, I think that check may be a fake.
And in other news, the Pope is Catholic.

You mean the antipope. I am the true successor to John Paul II, though I also happen to be Catholic....

Forgery.
Also charges of possession of marijuana and unlawful possession of a weapon.

A shame there isn't a charge for flagrant stupidity. He certainly seems to qualify.
