Had to chuckle a little, reading that bad checks were written in jail, (allegedly). Reminds me of another case a few years back. A guy was arrested for violation of an no contact order of protection. His one phone call? Yup, you guessed it..called the girl friend who had the order against him!!

I guess some people are in jail for a reason.....
