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.

The legal principal requiring "criminal intent" went out the window long ago in America's criminal "justice" system. The guy came up with a creative way to lie to his teacher; that's all. Prosecutors should not have pressed criminal charges. But hey, they never miss an opportunity to make yet another citizen a felon. If he goes to trial a jury of hand-picked soccer moms will no doubt convict him. Even if he can plead it down to something less than felony forgery, the law enforcement/legal/judicial complex will be nicely fed.
This should have remained a matter between the student and the school. If I were the school admin, I would fail him for that class and suspend him for a semester or two. But I wouldn't try to ruin his life for lying to Life University (whatever that is).

Oh, I like it in this case. Greatly! :-)
What do you want to bet it's prounounced "Deontay" -- you know, like "Clementa" Pinckney?

Life University... Yes, it's coming back to me now. That's where we did a lot of recruiting for Research and Development engineers when I worked for a big corporation.
"Deontay" -- The cafeteria lady who brought me my hospital food had a nametag that said "Sade". I asked how she pronounced it? "SharDAY"!

Funny! Oh, get this -- next weird news site in the NW series:

For an October report, Vice Media located the half-dozen most- dedicated collectors of those AOL giveaway CDs from the Internet's dial-up years ("50 Hours Free!"). Sparky Haufle wrote a definitive AOL-CD collector's guide; Lydia Sloan Cline has 4,000 unique disks; Bustam Halim at one point had 20,000 total, before weeding to 3,000. (The AOL connoisseurs file disks by color, by the hundreds of packaging styles, by number of free hours, and especially by the co-brands -- the rare pearls, like AOL's deals with Frisbee and Spider Man. Their collections, said both Halim and Brian Larkin, are simply "beautiful." [Vice.com, 10-7-2015]

I love zany things like that -- thought about creating a curtain of 'em for my front porch. Mebbe internet café walls should be covered with 'em?

Wow, this comes next -- are colleges feeling the effects of the socialism they force-feed the young?
In 20th-century Chicago, according to legend, one did not have to be among the living to vote on election day, and a 2013 policy of the city's community colleges has seemingly extended rights of the dead -- to receive unearned degrees. City Colleges of Chicago, aiming to increase graduation numbers, has awarded a slew of posthumous degrees to former students who died with at least three-fourths of the necessary credits to graduate. (The policy also now automatically awards degrees by "reverse transfer" of credits to students who went on to four-year colleges, where they added enough credits, hypothetically, to meet City Colleges' standards.)
