Kind of ironic that this is so dumb, you wouldn’t believe it if you saw it in a movie. A woman in Kentucky got arrested after she tried to bail someone out of jail using fake MOVIE MONEY.
39-year-old Felicia Howard showed up to a jail in Madisonville, Kentucky on Sunday to bail a guy out. It’s not clear how she knows him. (Madisonville is about 115 miles southwest of Louisville.)
The bail was apparently $1,400, and she handed them a stack of $100 bills. But they were quickly able to figure out the bills were fake. Each of the 14 bills she handed over clearly said they were for “Motion Picture Use Only.”
(They didn’t share photos, but you can buy fake bills like that online.)
Instead of bailing the guy out, she joined him in jail. They arrested her for felony “possession of a forged instrument.”
A police spokesman said they’ve seen people use movie money at stores before. But he’s never seen anyone dumb enough to pay BAIL with it. (Here’s Felicia’s mugshot.)
