A man in Maine tried to post $200 bail with counterfeit bills.
Deputies responding to a report of a stolen vehicle in Waterboro early Sunday morning stopped a man walking nearby. They determined that he was not involved but arrested him on an outstanding warrant for theft from a Walmart.
The man said he had enough money to post $200 in bail but when the bail commissioner arrived, he tried to pay with two counterfeit $100 bills.
So, not sure what he was thinking of, but things get weirder…
He was denied bail and was returned to jail with the additional charge of forgery.
But then, this same guy was able to post $100 in bail later in the day, the sheriff’s office said.
What were THEY thinking? Setting his bail lower after he stiffed them on the $200 bail the first time? So did he have the money the whole time?
