If you're going to bounce a check, set your fraud sights a little higher than
pizza:Deputies reported that Simpson, 46, was identified as the person who signed the name Jesse Robinson on a $122.25 check to Domino's Pizza on Jan. 18. The check paid for five large pizzas, six orders of chicken wings, five orders of cinnamon bread sticks and a two-liter bottle of soda, deputies reported.
When the delivery man returned to the Domino's on FM 2100, "management confirmed that the check was written from a bank that was no longer in business," deputies reported.
No shocker there, is there? Then there's this:
"Ms. Simpson told the deputy that she did not know why she was going to jail because she didn't think Domino's prosecuted for cases like this." the department said in a statement issued last week.
The excuse of the decade! "You can't take me to jail for the crime I committed because the victims of this particular crime don't prosecute for this kind of thing." I'm going to have to remember that one. It's better than the Jedi Mind Trick!
