But I found the checkbook – can’t I use it?

STATESBORO, Ga., – A 21-year-old Georgia man was arrested after trying to buy drinks with a checkbook he found at a bar. Unfortunately for Jody Brian Minor of McRae, the checkbook’s owner was the bartender serving him.

Minor was arrested on theft and forgery charges early Saturday morning, Statesboro Police Detective Terry Briley said.

He was “extraordinarily intoxicated,” Briley said. Minor is out on bond, and his case will go before a grand jury in August, Briley said.

Minor was at Dingus Magee’s bar when he found a checkbook and began paying his tab with it, Briley said. One of the bar’s employees realized the checks belonged to a fellow bartender Hubble Beasley, who called police.

Briley said Minor’s father has paid the delinquent $129 bar tab.
