Police in Melville, New Yorksay that it is no surprise that a fake $50 bill got a Long Island man arrested -he was attempting to use it for bail on a traffic violation.
The illegal transaction only added to the legal trouble in which the man identified as 31 years old Cyheam Forney was, and landed him in jail
Police say they spotted Forney make an illegal left turn and soon discovered his license had been suspended.
Forney was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of driving with a suspended license - until, according to officers he proffered the bogus bill as bail money. Now a felony of possessing a a forged instrument has been added to his rap sheet. Whoops lol1 person likes this

That was really smart. We're going to hand a fake $50 to the people who were extensively trained to notice counterfeit money, so we can get out of jail. No, its alright, they will never notice. Now instead of doing a few days in jail, and having to pay a fine, he will do a few months, maybe years. I know he is beating his head against the cell wall right now!!!
