WOMAN, SEVEN CHILDREN ARRESTED--BUS FRAUD
An overweight passenger, with eight kids (varying in age within a year of each other), was arrested for perpetrating a scam on the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA). The event occurred during rush hour traffic. Turns out, the woman brought two of her children on board. She directed the children to act a fool in order to distract the bus driver and passengers from her six other children who tried to sneak on from the side door. Bear in mind, entry to the bus is only permitted at the front.

The woman was immediately arrested, along with her seven children (one ran away). She was taken to Cook-county jail where she has a ten dollar bail. Unfortunately she is unable to pay the bail.

When reporters asked why she was unable to pay she said, " I only have three dollars. Can I borrow seven dollars. I'll pay you back."

The reporters also asked why she tried to scam the CTA. She said, "I was trying to save up for gas so I can drive to the casino tomorrow. The palm of my hands have been itching for days. I'm feeling lucky. Seriously, do you have seven dollars? I'll pay you back."
