A rural Bloomfield man who went to the drive-through window of the Eastern Heights branch of the Bloomfield State Bank early Friday morning, and tried to cash a check for one million dollars, didn't drive off with any cash.
Later the same day, Lt. Bryan Woodall of the Greene County Sheriff's Department gave the man a ride to the county jail.
Justin S. Johnson, 21, who resides in Lawrence Hollow Estates, appeared in Greene Superior Court on Tuesday afternoon and was charged with one count of forgery, a class C felony.
A call came in to the sheriff's department from the bank around 8:45 a.m. on Friday. The complaint was that Johnson was attempting to cash a check for one million dollars by handing the check through the window to a teller.
Lt. Woodall was dispatched and spoke with the teller who said it was not a valid check and she did not cash it. Woodall said the teller kept the check. And she obtained Johnson's driver's license and made a copy of it before Johnson left.
The deputy located Johnson at his residence.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Johnson said a blank check was given to him the day before by a man he had done some work for.
Johnson allegedly filled the check out, knowing it was not supposed to be written for one million dollars, signed the man's name and attempted to cash it.
The check was written on an account at Hoosier Hills Credit Union located in Bedford, in the name of a company located in Bloomington.
Johnson's bond has been set at $10,000 according to the standard bond schedule.
Where I used to live is a dog-rough joint,
and most of the people there draw state benefits -
only one guy - complete with stockinged head -
tried to rob the post office where he got his benefits from every week
and said he was amazed to be recognised when he was jailed!
it's amazing isn't it? ::lol::
i remember reading about a guy in texas several years ago who won 4 million dollars in the lottery. he was busted for selling crack on a street corner a few weeks later. evidently he loved his work.
one of my personal favorites was a guy who was a frequent flyer at our jail...we knew him well on the street.
one sunday morning the local newspapers had a HUGE photo of him on the front page taken at the bank he had just robbed. no mask or disguise. grinning at the camera.
i saw the paper, went to his house, and arrested his sorry ass.
he was waiting for me.

i don't think i am ever going to find another one that makes me laugh like this guy. i would LOVE to know just what he was thinking! i mean really, who would notice some guy walking into the bank disguised as a tree?
MANCHESTER, N.H. (July 8) - Leaf it to New Hampshire, where a bank branch was held up by a man disguised as a tree.
Just as the Citizen Bank branch opened Saturday morning, a man walked in with leafy boughs duct-taped to his head and torso, and robbed the place.
"He really went out on a limb," police Sgt. Ernie Goodno said Sunday.
Police said the leafy man didn't saying anything about having a weapon, just demanded cash, and was given an undisclosed amount.
Washington (CNN) -- Elena Kagan was confirmed as the 112th justice to the Supreme Court Thursday and could be sworn into her judicial post by week's end.
The vote on the Senate floor was 63-37.
Five Republicans in the Senate had signaled their intention to vote for Kagan, meaning conservatives didn't have the strength in numbers to delay the proceedings with a filibuster.
Only one Democrat announced his opposition: Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska.
"I have heard concerns from Nebraskans regarding Ms. Kagan, and her lack of a judicial record makes it difficult for me to discount the concerns raised by Nebraskans, or to reach a level of comfort that these concerns are unfounded," he said in a statement.
Kagan will become only the fourth woman ever to sit on the prestigious bench.
The New York native and former Harvard Law School dean will replace the retiring Justice John Paul Stevens.
She was picked by President Obama on May 10, and the Judiciary Committee sent her nomination to the floor last month.

His comment was in what he posted. He thinks her appointment is stupid.
I don't know much about her story just that she is inexperienced. It's a very important job & I simply thought she should have had more of a judicial background. I might have spelled that wrong, too lazy to check.
