A student who claimed to be in jail to skip an exam ended up behind bars when it was revealed he was lying.
Deonta Demon Stephens told his Life University professor in Atlanta that he was unable to attend the test because he had to go to court and had been put behind bars.
But when the professor requested to see documentation to prove his claims, Stephens forged the papers — and his excuse quickly unravelled.
The suspicious professor contacted authorities who realized Stephens was lying.
“Said accused created a document purportedly from the State Court of Cobb County stating he was ordered by the court to spend three days in custody, when in fact no such order was issued,” the arrest warrant states, reported the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Following an investigation by the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office, Stephens was charged with two felony counts of forgery.
Stephens was arrested last week and held briefly at the Cobb jail, before being released on $2,500 bond.
