$50,000 Check From God Bounces
Growing up in New York City, there were enough guys out there who would tell you exactly what God had told them the night before preaching on the sidewalk. But the man in Hobart, Indiana who decided to cash a check from God found out that “In God We Trust” is on the money, not a bank policy.
Kevin Russell found out it’s not easy trying to cash a check from God. The 21-year-old man was arrested Monday after he tried to cash a check for $50,000 at the Chase Bank in Hobart that was signed “King Savior, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Servant,” Hobart police Detective Jeff White said.
Russell was charged with one count attempted check fraud and one count intimidation, both felonies, and one count resisting law enforcement, a misdemeanor. He could face prison time.
Police were called to the bank after Russell tried to cash the check, which was written on an invalid Bank One check with no imprint, White said. Russell had several other checks with him that were signed the same way but made out in different dollar amounts, including one for $100,000. via the ajc.com
