Fort Worth Man Gets 80 Years For Buying A Hot Dog With Fake Money.


FORT WORTH (AP/CBSDFW) – A Fort Worth man has been sentenced to 80 years in prison for trying to buy movie theater hot dogs with counterfeit cash.
Charles Cleveland Nowden was sentenced Friday, two days after being convicted of forgery.
Two years ago Nowden used a fake $20 bill when trying to buy hot dogs, popcorn and soft drinks at a Mansfield movie theater. Prosecutors say after his arrest, a police officer found more counterfeit bills worth $120 tucked into a wrapper of one of the hot dogs.

Prosecutors presented evidence about other theft cases pending against the 48-year-old in Tarrant and Lamar counties, including being linked by DNA to the theft of an 18-wheeler in 2010

Well, the guy did have a lengthy record; but how come repeat drunk drivers aren't treated this way? I think I heard of one guy with 9 DWIs getting life in prison, but he had a lot of chances to kill someone.

I run into a lot of drunk drivers and they are a lot more dangerous than thieves and counterfeiters. You think the drunk driver would have learned after....I don't know....maybe his 2nd, 3rd, 4th arrest.

I thought they weren't allowed to use evidence of other cases in a trial.
Wouldn't that be "common sense".

Pretty harsh, but he should have learned the first time. 3 strikes and you're out.

He was probably poor. It was either that or go to jail. Now he can live an honest life in a jail eating 3 meals a day and having as many showers as he wants.
