4th-graders caught passing bogus cash at Gary school
Associated Press

GARY – A cafeteria worker thought it was odd that a fourth-grader would pay for his lunch with a $20 bill.

The cashier at Marquette Elementary School also noticed that the texture of the paper wasn’t quite right. The cashier alerted the school’s police officer, Patrolman Greg Tatum, who asked the 10-year-old about the money.

“He reached into his front pocket and pulled out more,” Tatum said.

The discovery led to the arrest of three fourth-graders at the Gary school, where police and school officials confiscated $179 in counterfeit money.

All three face juvenile charges of forgery and theft, Cpl. Nelson Otano said Tuesday, after the students were brought to the police station.

The 10-year-old boy with most of the fake money told police he printed it on his computer the previous night.

“At first he said his father made it. Then he said he made it, and his parents knew about it,” Otano said.

A 12-year-old classmate traded a fake $20 bill for two legitimate $10 bills from a school cashier earlier Tuesday, Otano said.

“The girl knew it was fake,” he said.

The third student arrested, also a 10-year-old boy, gave the money he had to Tatum. In all, police identified seven fake 20s, three 10, one five and four ones, Otano said.

Secret Service agents were assisting in the investigation.

10 year old counterfeiters. It boggles the mind.

And what's with this?

A 12-year-old classmate traded a fake $20 bill for two legitimate $10 bills from a school cashier earlier Tuesday, Otano said.

“The girl knew it was fake,” he said.

How stupid is the cashier not to have known right away? This wasn't a big operation, this was a kid doing it on his computer.

But the kid said she knew it was fake. That means she was in on the conspiracy to defraud. Who knows how far up the ladder this could lead?

I dunno ... there have been cases reported where clerks at large retail outlets have accepted $100 bills with GW on the picture.

They would fit into the "How stupid is the cashier not to have known right away?" category as well

There was a big thing a couple years ago in my kids school (catholic elementary). Kids were selling fake milk tickets.

The tickets were the exact same "raffle" type tickets the school had bought at the dollar store. LOL.

Ahh. How sweet.

In four more years they'll be making a viral toolbar capturing credit card addresses.
