Yesterday my roommate was arrested for fraud, techically check forgery. When he was living with new friends he met living with a coworker in a cheap hotel and had a falling out with the coworker to move in with this couple. His friend found checks on a sidewalk and he helped his friends by depositing them in his bank account which is how the police traced them to him. Stupid, I know. He was freaking out cause he never had been arrested before. His girlfriend came over and contacted his family for help attaining a lawyer. They refused to help so he has a public defender. I drove him to the station to turn himself in. Girlfriend said to act tough. A friend bailed him out the next day and since I was sleeping, I didn't go pick him up so he took the bus home. I found his mugshot online and copied to to hang a sign with it saying Welcome Home. He and his girlfriend thought it was hilarious. He discovered the checks were not found on the sidewalk cause the owner of the checks is dead. Those checks were stolen and forged. He ratted on his gal friend and immediately was sent death threats from the guy friend with other friends asking where he was living. Now he is worried how he will get a job without a driver's license, little experience, no higher education, and now going to jail. Of course I can't sympathesize much since I've never been arrested.
