    Arrested and in jail for writing a bad check. Didn't know you can go to jail for bouncing a check, maybe more to it?

    Porter.

    Funny thing, when I imagined Joey Porter going to jail I figured it would be for beating a man to death. But bad checks? didn't see that at all.

    My guess is that it ain't just one check, and it's probably for more that a few $s

    It's astonishing how irresponsible so many pro athletes and entertainers are with their millions. You see it with lottery winners as well. I guess you just can't give people money and expect them to know what to do with it.

    I live in Vegas and those " Bounced Checks" are usually unpaid gaming markers. The law here states that signing for cash at a casino is the same as writing checks. If you don't pay they put out a warrant

    KDKA said he wrote $70K worth of checks to cover gambling losses, and the stopped payment on them. So when the casino went to cash them they bounced.

    I'm sure Goodell is already blaming this on head trauma... :lolol:
