Kids Take Counterfeit Money to School
Man Is Arrested After His Grandchildren Show Up at School With $1,100 in Counterfeit Bills
The Associated Press
MODESTO, Calif. June 3 — A man landed in jail after his grandchildren showed up at school with $1,100 in counterfeit bills their grandfather had allegedly made.
School officials called police after a 7-year-old girl showed a handful of $100 bills to classmates, Stanislaus County sheriff's spokesman Tom Letras said.
The second grader and her 5-year-old brother told police they took only a few $100 bills from the pile stored in grandpa's van.
Police said they found Jose Luis Landeras on Tuesday stuffing moneymaking material down his pants.
Landeras, 42, was arrested on suspicion of making counterfeit money and spending it over the past seven months. Police said they confiscated $2,000 in phony bills.
The boy originally didn't want to talk to police because he thought he and his sister were in trouble for stealing. But police coaxed him into telling them about the money when they asked what games he and his grandfather liked to play.
The boy said his favorite game was Frogger. And his grandpa's? The "moneymaking game."
