These little piggies went wee wee wee....

[mrydel]

all the way to jail.

3 Arkie basketballers including their starting point guard were arrested passing counterfeit money. It was a part of a surveillance sting operation supposedly. They are being held with no bail. Need to get another home and home quickly.

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Wow.

Some of these kids just think they can get away with anything!

[Stallion]

No bail?

Probably haven't been arraigned yet

[Arkpony]

They were on camera passing $20 and $50 counterfeit bills. Stupid.

[mrydel]

Adding insult to injury, their top recruit got turned down by the NCAA clearinghouse.

[No Quarter]

Some stories we have heard make it hard to believe that a revenue sport scholarship athlete would not be able to identify a fake $20 or $50.

[mrydel]

When you go into a tobacco store to exchange 6 50s for 3 100s it is hard to believe they did not know what they had.

[lwjr]

It's the SEC, they will be granted work release for game days

[panhandle_pony]

I heard the reason they were caught is because they attempted to exchange 6 $50's for 3 $75's and 3 $25's. But who really knows.

[mrydel]

It was the picture of Frank Broyles on the bills that gave it away.

[gostangs]

it wasn't a picture of Bill Clinton?

[mrydel]

He is on the real money we use in Arkansas.

[ponydawg]

THEY ARE INNOCENT!!!!!

These student athletes had NO way of knowing that the money Arkansas paid them to come play there was counterfeit.

[mrydel]

That is the question that I have yet to hear asked. From where did the money come?

[Arkpony]

There has been an on-going counterfeit bill investigation in that area of Arkansas for some time. The authorities were on he lookout. This idiots passed $20 bills on seperate days at different locations. As Mrydel pointed out, the most idiotic person is the clerk who gave them 3 good $100 bills for 6 phony $50 bills.

They will be given a second chance at playing of course, as they are Basically Good Guys, and have learned the error of their ways. PLAY BALL!
