REAL LIFE SUPERHERO GETS HIS REAL NOSE BROKEN


In a scene right out of the movie "Defendor". a Seattle crime fighting "super hero" Phoenix Jones saw a fight over the weekend and went to break it up. And just like Woody Harrelson's character in 'Defendor', Phoenix Jones got his ass mopped and dropped, ending up with a broken nose.

But the caped crusader has no intention of ending his mission of crime fighting even though he got his ass kicked.

CHECK THAT $100 BILL IT COULD BE $5


Alpharetta police and the Secret Service are trying to figure out how long three suspects they arrested were spending counterfeit $100 bills at Atlanta area malls.

Police arrested the suspects in the parking lot of North Point Mall on December 31st. They were called by loss prevention officers at Macy's. When police searched a car the suspects were in they found several items that were purchased with fake money. Police said most of the items were clothing.
"They would go to the store, pass the counterfeit money off, buy a small item and then return later in the day to get cash back based upon a receipt," said Alpharetta police officer George Gordon.
Officer Gordon said the suspects took legitimate five dollar bills and dipped them in chemicals to wash off the dye. "And then they would imprint it with a one hundred dollar bill imprint," he said.
This is one aspect of crime not to mess with. You get a lot of jail time for counterfeit money and the amout is not even worth the effort, unless you are buying drugs with the money.
